Punjab Extends Domestic Power Tariff Benefit to Lawyers' Court Chambers
The Punjab government has extended a power tariff benefit to lawyers' chambers located within court complexes, allowing them to pay domestic rates instead of commercial rates. This includes up to 300 units of free power under a welfare scheme initially for domestic consumers. The Punjab State Power Corporation Limited (PSPCL) has been instructed to process eligible applications within 48 hours following complaints of delays. The benefit applies only to advocates registered with the Punjab and Haryana Bar Council, with charges applicable if consumption exceeds 600 units in two months.
