Who each rate applies to
Domestic (DLT)
Three telescopic slabs on ₹90 per kVA per month. The slabs barely differ — ₹5.00, ₹5.04 and ₹5.10 — so consumption has almost no effect on the rate you pay.
Kutir Jyoti / BPL — metered, up to 30 units
₹4.57/unit for BPL metered connections, for consumption up to 30 units a month. Beyond 30 units the excess is billed at ordinary domestic slab rates.
Kutir Jyoti — unmetered
A flat ₹210 per connection per month, with no metering and no energy charge.
ℹ️ Meghalaya's domestic slabs are almost flat — ₹5.00, ₹5.04 and ₹5.10 — so unlike most states, cutting consumption to stay under a slab boundary saves you essentially nothing here. What matters instead is the fixed charge, which is levied per kVA of load rather than per kW, so it is your sanctioned load and power factor that drive the standing cost. The domestic category is broad: it also covers places of worship, non-profit hospitals and schools, hostels, dharamshalas and community halls. Domestic bills here include Meghalaya's 5 paise/unit electricity duty; other State levies are charged in addition.

—
ℹ️ Non-domestic is a single rate on every unit — ₹7.45 — with no slabs at all, against a ₹170 per kVA monthly fixed charge. That is nearly twice the domestic energy rate and nearly twice the domestic fixed charge, so the commercial/domestic classification of a connection matters far more in Meghalaya than any consumption threshold. Electricity duty and other State levies are charged in addition.
Common Meghalaya bill calculations
Typical domestic examples for a 2 kW Domestic (Low Tension) 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.
