Punjab Offers One-Time Settlement Scheme For Defaulting Power Consumers

Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann said it will give a golden opportunity to such consumers whose power connections were cut or not restored because of their financial constraints.

The Punjab government has brought a one-time settlement scheme for power consumers who have defaulted on their bill payments.

"We have come up with a one-time settlement (OTS) scheme for electricity consumers who have defaulted on their bill payment," Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann said on Friday in a tweet in Punjabi.

Mr Mann said it will give a golden opportunity to such consumers whose power connections were cut or not restored because of their financial constraints.

This scheme will be available for three months for all categories of consumers, especially the industry, he said.
