Jammu & Kashmir electricity tariff (2025-26)

Who each rate applies to
Domestic — metered
Three telescopic slabs — ₹2.30 up to 200 units, ₹4.00 to 400, ₹4.35 beyond — on ₹8/kW/month. Among the cheapest domestic tariffs in India.
Domestic — Below Poverty Line (up to 30 units/month)
₹1.40/unit on ₹5/kW/month. The concession only covers the first 30 units: anything beyond is charged at the ordinary metered rates for the relevant slab.
ℹ️ J&K's domestic tariff is among the cheapest in the country — ₹2.30 for the first 200 units against a fixed charge of just ₹8 per kW a month. J&K rounds sanctioned load UP to the next half kilowatt before applying the fixed charge — the order's example is 0.25 kW billed as 0.5 kW and 1.2 kW billed as 1.5 kW. The calculator does not round, so a real bill may show slightly more. For a group housing society on a single connection, JERC scales the slabs by the number of houses: ten houses get the first-slab rate on the first 2,000 units, not the first 200. Electricity duty and other levies are charged in addition to the rates here.

Who each rate applies to
Non-domestic / commercial — single phase
₹3.55 up to 200 units, ₹5.40 to 500, ₹5.85 beyond, on ₹60/kW/month. Note the first two published bands carry the same ₹3.55 rate.
Non-domestic / commercial — three phase
A single ₹5.85 on all units, against a much heavier ₹130 per kVA per month demand charge.
ℹ️ The commercial category is a catch-all: JERC bills anything not covered by another schedule here, excluding only Government and Defence connections. Single phase is slabbed and billed per kW; three phase is a flat ₹5.85 against a per-kVA demand charge. A connection below 100 kW that is supplied and metered on HT earns a 5% rebate on energy charges. J&K rounds sanctioned load UP to the next half kilowatt before applying the fixed charge — the order's example is 0.25 kW billed as 0.5 kW and 1.2 kW billed as 1.5 kW. The calculator does not round, so a real bill may show slightly more.
Common Jammu & Kashmir bill calculations
Typical domestic examples for a 2 kW Domestic Supply 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.
