The PuVVNL Electricity Bill Calculator is an online tool designed to help electricity consumers estimate their monthly power bill. It is intended for eligible consumers served by Purvanchal Vidyut Vitran Nigam Limited across Varanasi, Gorakhpur, Prayagraj, Ghazipur, Mirzapur, Azamgarh, Jaunpur, Ballia, and other covered areas of Eastern Uttar Pradesh.
Using the supplied UPERC FY 2026–27 tariff information, the calculator supports LMV-1 Domestic Urban, LMV-1 Domestic Rural, BPL Lifeline, LMV-2 Commercial, and LMV-6 Small Industrial connections. It calculates telescopic energy charges, sanctioned-load-based fixed demand charges, meter rent, 5% Electricity Duty, and the estimated net payable amount.
The calculator is useful because Urban and Rural Domestic consumers follow different tariff slabs and fixed charges. It distributes consumption across the applicable brackets instead of multiplying all units by the highest rate reached.
What Is the PuVVNL Electricity Bill Calculator?
The calculator prepares an estimated monthly bill using:
- Selected consumer category
- Total monthly electricity consumption in kWh
- Sanctioned or connected load in kW
- Single Phase or Three Phase meter selection
- Applicable telescopic or flat energy tariff
- Category-specific fixed demand charge
- Configured 5% Electricity Duty
After calculation, the tool displays an itemized report showing slab-wise energy charges, fixed demand charges, meter rent, Electricity Duty, and the estimated total. The report can also be viewed, printed, or downloaded.
LMV-1 Domestic Urban Tariff
| Monthly Consumption | Energy Rate | Fixed Charge |
|---|---|---|
| 0–150 units | ₹5.50 per unit | ₹110/kW/month |
| 151–300 units | ₹6.00 per unit | ₹110/kW/month |
| 301–500 units | ₹6.50 per unit | ₹110/kW/month |
| Above 500 units | ₹7.00 per unit | ₹110/kW/month |
Example: Urban Domestic Consumer Using 280 Units
Suppose an Urban Domestic consumer uses 280 units with a sanctioned load of 2 kW and a Single Phase meter.
- First 150 units: 150 × ₹5.50 = ₹825
- Remaining 130 units: 130 × ₹6.00 = ₹780
- Total energy charge: ₹1,605
- Fixed demand charge: 2 × ₹110 = ₹220
- Single Phase meter rent: ₹20
- Subtotal before duty: ₹1,845
- Illustrative 5% Electricity Duty: ₹92.25
- Illustrative estimated bill: ₹1,937.25
This illustration applies duty to the configured subtotal. The official Electricity Duty base should be checked on the actual PuVVNL bill.
LMV-1 Domestic Rural Tariff
- 0–100 units: ₹3.35 per unit
- 101–150 units: ₹3.85 per unit
- 151–300 units: ₹5.00 per unit
- 301–500 units: ₹5.50 per unit
- Above 500 units: ₹6.00 per unit
- Fixed demand charge: ₹90 per kW per month
For a Rural consumer using 280 units, the first 100 units cost ₹335, the next 50 units cost ₹192.50, and the remaining 130 units cost ₹650. The total energy charge is ₹1,177.50 before fixed demand charge, meter rent, and Electricity Duty.
A 2 kW Rural connection receives a fixed demand charge of ₹180 per month.
BPL Lifeline Domestic Tariff
The supplied BPL Lifeline category applies to eligible Domestic connections with sanctioned load not exceeding 1 kW.
- Energy rate: ₹3.00 per unit
- Fixed demand charge: ₹50 per kW per month
- Maximum configured load: 1 kW
For example, an eligible BPL consumer using 80 units receives an energy charge of ₹240. For a 1 kW connection, the fixed charge is ₹50. A Single Phase meter adds ₹20 before the configured Electricity Duty is calculated.
The supplied information does not specify free electricity units or an additional subsidy. The calculator should therefore apply only the configured BPL tariff rules.
LMV-2 Commercial Tariff
- 0–300 units: ₹7.50 per unit
- Above 300 units: ₹8.50 per unit
- Fixed demand charge: ₹330 per kW per month
- Domestic benefits: Not applicable
Example: Commercial Consumer Using 400 Units
For a Commercial connection using 400 units with a sanctioned load of 5 kW:
- First 300 units: 300 × ₹7.50 = ₹2,250
- Remaining 100 units: 100 × ₹8.50 = ₹850
- Total energy charge: ₹3,100
- Fixed demand charge: 5 × ₹330 = ₹1,650
- Three Phase meter rent: ₹50
- Subtotal before duty: ₹4,800
- Illustrative 5% duty: ₹240
- Illustrative estimated bill: ₹5,040
LMV-6 Small Industrial Tariff
- Energy charge: ₹7.30 per unit
- Fixed demand charge: ₹290 per kW per month
- Electricity Duty: 5% under the supplied configuration
A Small Industrial connection using 1,000 units with a sanctioned load of 10 kW receives an energy charge of ₹7,300 and a fixed demand charge of ₹2,900. A Three Phase meter adds ₹50 before the configured Electricity Duty is applied.
Meter Rent and Electricity Duty
- Single Phase meter rent: ₹20 per month
- Three Phase meter rent: ₹50 per month
- Electricity Duty: 5%
- Billing cycle: Monthly
The calculator displays meter rent and Electricity Duty separately so consumers can understand each component of the estimated bill.
