Kashmir Power Distribution Corporation Limited (KPDCL) has issued a final call to domestic consumers to avail the power amnesty scheme of the government before the deadline of March 31, 2025.
Chief Engineer, Distribution, KPDCL, Er. Aqib Waheed Dewa emphasized that customers have only four months left to pay their principal dues in full or in installments, free of any late payment penalty.
The scheme, which has already benefited 1,09,648 domestic consumers and Rs. 164 crore, has been instrumental in reducing the long outstanding amount. In total, the government has spent Rs. 58 crore in late payment surcharges, providing significant relief to consumers.
“This is the last chance for customers to settle their dues and avoid further complications. After the expiry of the scheme, we will be left with no option but to take legal action including disconnection,” Ayer warned. Aqib Waheed Dewa.
KPDCL is urging the remaining 41,259 customers with outstanding balances to visit their local electric subdivisions and settle their bills before the deadline. This initiative is an important step towards improving the financial health of the power sector, and KPDCL encourages all eligible consumers to take immediate action to avoid possible consequences.
