Why does the Government make the Update/Registration Compulsory?
APDCL (Assam Power Distribution Company Limited) has made it mandatory for consumers to register/update their email addresses, Aadhaar numbers, and occupation information, as well as link their mobile numbers to APDCL. They asked their customers to update their information on the official website (apdcl.org) by July 15, 2021. Consumers can also update their information in person at the APDCL office.
The primary reason for updating/registering consumers’ mobile numbers and email addresses with APDCL is that APDCL will be notified or send alerts to its customers on electricity bills, outages, and restoration, as well as the causes and duration of these events.
Personal Information in the portal that needs to be updated:
- Name
- Mobile No.
- Consumer No.
- Aadhaar No.
- Email ID (if available)
- Occupation
Key Points to Remember
- To alter your name on your power bill, go to the nearest electricity board office and fill out an application form. Submit the application and the required documents to the office’s officials.
- Consumers can change their personal information either online or offline. The following two processes are available to customers. The online technique entails going to the official APDCL website, whereas the offline option entails going to the local APDCL office.
- The bill is computed by multiplying the number of units used by the rate per unit. The quantity of units utilized can be calculated using the meter reading.
- The National Payment Corporation of India (NPCI) developed a one-stop portal named ‘BHARAT BILLPAY’ for national and international payments for bijali bill, mobile, water bills, DTH, and gas.
- Bharat Bill Payment System provides a one-stop bill payment service for all recurring payments with 200+ billers across India in categories such as electricity, gas, insurance, water, loan repayments, telecommunications, DTH, FASTag recharging, and cable.
Despite numerous physical obstacles, APDCL is growing its distribution network. In locations where the distribution network cannot reach, such as Amarpur, APDCL is building off-grid solar projects. Assam Power Distribution Corporation Ltd. (APDCL) currently serves over 33 lakh customers across the state. To make APDCL bills payment simple and convenient, the government has created a variety of payment options, and the APDCL website contains all the necessary information regarding your Bijali bill.
