PSPCL Introduces Voluntary Scheme to Regularise Unauthorised Tubewell Load
Punjab State Power Corporation Limited (PSPCL) has launched a Voluntary Disclosure Scheme (VDS) from October 1 for 45 days, allowing agricultural tubewell consumers to regularise unauthorised additional load without penalty. The scheme applies to connections existing as of May 29, with reduced service charges of Rs 2,500 per horsepower and security deposits of Rs 200 per horsepower. Consumers can either remove unauthorised load or regularise it by submitting a self-declaration form. PSPCL officials will assist in load verification and necessary infrastructure upgrades.
