Electric sub meter
10 months ago
I have main electricity meter board by government. For 3 rooms and my house had a 1 main meter. Now I want to install new sub meter for each rooms. Can I install private meter which are available in market or online shopping portal( like Amazon, Flipkart etc) or should I have to go for government meters.
A.Dear Client,
A single Meter is allowed and installed as the main Meter by the Electricity Deptt for a single consumer having a building of multiple floors. A consumer shall not connect any meter referred to in sub-section (1) of Sec.26 of the Indian Electricity Act, 1910 with any electric supply line through which energy is supplied by a licensee, or disconnect the same from any such electric supply line but he may by giving not less than forty-eight hours’ notice in writing to the licensee require the licensee to connect or disconnect such meter. If any consumer elects to purchase a meter, the same may be purchased by him. The meter purchased by the consumer shall be tested, installed and sealed by the licensee/Electricity Deptt.. The consumer shall claim the meter purchased by him as his asset only after it is permanently removed from the system of the licensee. So as a consumer, you are duty-bound to inform the Licensee for any kind of alteration or addition in service line.
