In a press release, MSEDCL said for consumers whose electricity supply was discontinued permanently before December 31, 2017, would get 100 per cent interest and a delayed charge rebate if the basic outstanding balance is paid in the first month of the scheme.

If the court case is more than 12 years old and the court has given the amount of the decree, then the respective customers would get 100 per cent interest waiver if the amount of the decree is filled in at the same time. Also, if such customers pay the decree in one stage, then they will get a 50 per cent interest waiver. In case of jurisdiction, the cost related to the court process will be required by the customer concerned, said MSEDCL.
