How Assam (APDCL (Assam Power Distribution Company Limited)) Bills You

Understanding slabs, billing cycles, subsidies, and non-tariff exclusions

Electricity in Assam is distributed and billed by APDCL (Assam Power Distribution Company Limited) under regulatory tariff schedules set by the State Electricity Regulatory Commission. Domestic residential consumers fall under the subsidized LT-1 tariff category, which uses a telescopic slab structure.

Under this system, the billing cycle is monthly. Telescopic billing ensures that your total consumption is split across successive brackets: lower units are billed at foundational rates starting at ₹5.40/unit, while higher rates apply only to additional units in subsequent tiers.

Lifeline consumers (Jeevan Jyoti up to 30 units) get heavily discounted tariffs.
