Nepra has approved the bill for 3 years punishment for electricity overbilling

The National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (NEPRA) has approved a bill to impose a 3-year penalty on over-billing.

According to the Ministry of Energy, the National Assembly approved the legislation on over-billing in discos.

Federal Energy Minister Owais Laghari has said that another promise has been fulfilled by amending the Nepra Act.

This provision will help catch the officers doing over-billing and wrong billing.

Owais Leghari has said that NEPRA, not FIA, will take action on over-billing.

According to Nepra sources, the rules were changed to avoid unnecessary harassment of the FIA.

Nepra sources also say that the FIA ​​will only identify, not be empowered to arrest, the officers.
