A Mumbai resident’s monthly electricity bill of ₹66,690 has shocked the internet. A Reddit user shared a screenshot of the June bill, which amounted to ₹66,690, sparking hilarious reactions and criticism on social media.
The screenshot, posted by Reddit user ‘Crazyprocrastinator,’ showed the bill issued by Adani Electricity Mumbai Limited for the month of June.
Social media users responded with humorous comments. Some suggested that the high bill might be due to electricity theft, while others advised the user to check their household electricity consumption.
One Reddit user, stunned by the amount, asked, “Ac k jaga turbines chalaya kya bro?” Another commented, “I think someone is stealing your house’s electricity. It seems like a 1-kilowatt power line connection is somehow linked to your house’s main connection and is drawing a lot of electricity.”
“Bro is mining Bitcoins lol,” wrote another user, while another simply commented, “MOYE MOYE.”
Sharing their own experience, one user advised, “Go to your nearest electricity substation and get them to check the physical meter again. This month we got a bill of 37k, but after having it checked, it was reduced to 15k, which is what we expected. You might have to follow up repeatedly or possibly offer a bribe to get it rechecked.”
Another comment read, “Bhai maine tere ghar ke line se electricity churali thi fir pure neighborhood ko free mein dedi.”
“Bhai mera monthly salary ka double tera bill hai,” wrote another user.
“My bill went from 4k to 6k. On inspecting the bill, I saw that Wheeling charges are almost double and other components of the bill have also increased. More than a 30 percent hike in charges is just insane.”
