• Wheeling Charge: Flat ₹1.17 per unit across every single unit to maintain the low-tension distribution network.
• Electricity Duty (ED): 16% statutory tax levied by the Maharashtra Government on the total sum of energy, wheeling, fixed, and FAC charges.
• Tax on Sale of Electricity (TOSE): Flat ₹0.15 per unit consumed.
• Prompt Payment Discount: 1% discount applied if paid on or before the prompt payment due date.
