Who each rate applies to
LTDS-II — ordinary domestic
The standard household category: five telescopic slabs from ₹2.95 to ₹5.40, on ₹30 per kW (or part thereof) per month.
LTDS-I — connected-load based (lifeline)
A single ₹2.90/unit on a flat ₹30 per connection per month, with no slabs.
LTDS-III — demand based
Marginally above LTDS-II at every slab: ₹3.00 to ₹5.45 on the same ₹30/kW/month.
ℹ️ Chandigarh's domestic tariff is unusually flat: the top slab (₹5.40) is under twice the first (₹2.95), where most states more than treble across the same range, so a heavy user here is treated far more gently than in Goa or Uttar Pradesh. Because JERC fixed the whole FY 2025-26 to FY 2029-30 control period in one order, rates step up each year without any fresh order — the same slab reaches ₹5.65 by FY 2029-30. JERC's schedule is the tariff alone. Domestic bills here include Chandigarh's 9 paise/unit electricity duty; other State levies are charged on the bill in addition. The fixed charge is per kW (or kVA) 'or part thereof', so a fractional sanctioned load is rounded up to the next whole unit on a real bill — the calculator does not round.

Who each rate applies to
NDS-I — non-domestic service
Three telescopic bands on kVAh — ₹4.60 up to 100 units, ₹4.80 to 200, ₹5.75 beyond — against ₹120 per kVA per month.
NDS-II — non-domestic service
The same ₹120/kVA fixed charge on slightly different bands: ₹4.65, ₹4.75 and ₹5.80.
ℹ️ Non-domestic supply is billed on kVAh against a ₹120 per kVA monthly charge, so power factor affects the units you are charged for. The energy rates are close to domestic — ₹4.60 against ₹2.95 on the first slab — but the fixed charge is four times higher per unit of load, which is where the real difference sits for a small shop. JERC's schedule is the tariff alone. Domestic bills here include Chandigarh's 9 paise/unit electricity duty; other State levies are charged on the bill in addition. The fixed charge is per kW (or kVA) 'or part thereof', so a fractional sanctioned load is rounded up to the next whole unit on a real bill — the calculator does not round.
Common Chandigarh bill calculations
Typical domestic examples for a 2 kW LTDS (Domestic Service) connection, computed with the same engine as the calculator. Use them as a quick sanity check; your actual bill changes with sub-category, arrears, FPPA, duty and billing-period length.
Complain in this order and keep the complaint number at every step. Skipping a step is the commonest reason a genuine billing complaint is returned unheard.
The CGRF order, or proof the forum missed its deadline
Two deadlines worth knowing. Under the central Electricity Rights of Consumers Rules a grievance should normally be decided within 30 days and in any case within 45. And if the paper you received is an assessment under Section 126 for unauthorised use rather than an ordinary bill, it does not go to the CGRF at all — it is appealed to the Appellate Authority under Section 127, usually within 30 days.
