Why this happens

200 se 201 par real pain 1 extra unit ka nahin, balke category shift ka hota hai. Isi liye users kehte hain 1 unit ne bill uda diya.

  • 200 tak protected treatment possible hoti hai agar recent months bhi threshold ke andar rahe hon.
  • 201 par protected logic break hoti hai aur unprotected rate pressure start hota hai.
  • GST aur other estimate components bhi higher subtotal par apply hotay hain, is liye jump aur noticeable lagta hai.

Sab se bara reason

Agar aap 200 units se upar chale jaate hain, toh aapka protected status khatam ho sakta hai.

  • subsidy remove ho jati hai
  • per unit rate barh jata hai
  • poora bill mehnga ho jata hai

Why people call it a bill shock

Isi liye log kehte hain "200 se upar bill jump karta hai" even when actual trigger system change hota hai.

Note: Har user ke liye yeh jump same nahi hota. Yeh aapki category (protected / non-protected) aur recent 6 months usage par depend karta hai.

What to do

  • Agar possible ho to usage 200 ke neeche hi finish karein.
  • Last week AC, heater, iron aur geyser control karein.
  • 201 cross hone se pehle exact result calculator mein recheck karein.
