How To Apply For Extra New Light Meter in Hyderabad

Greetings of the day!

Today we are going to write about how should one go about applying for a new electricity meter. This post of course is applicable only for Hyderabad.

One of the many reasons as to why everybody wants a new meter these days is because of the slabbed costing scheme government has recently introduced. So let us say you are staying in a building which has 3 different residents. The building has only one light meter. So what would be the problem now ?
Since there is only one meter and 3 different families are going to share it the cost of bill would be much when compared to each family having their own electricity meters. The obvious reason is that together they would be reaching higher cost per unit slab than they would reach individually.
