It is learnt from our field officers that commencement of supply to some consumer is delayed on account of non-execution of agreement for supply although the terms and conditions for supply were agreed to by the parties, due to the stamped agreement forms being not readily available and that generally considerable time is
lost in getting stamped copies of blank agreement forms for execution with consumers. This results in loss of revenue to the Board and inconvenience to the consumers. Therefore in order to avoid loss of revenue and difficulty to the consumers, it is decided to commence supply to such consumers provided they give a written undertaking in the form given below.

Undertaking. in lieu of Agreement for supply.

Dear Sir,

We have considered the agreement for supply and the terms and conditions thereof and also the conditions of supply. We are agreeable to take the supply from you on the said termsand conditions and in token of our Ex agreement we have initialled the agreement as well as the conditions of supply pending execution of proper stamped agreement.
 

Yours faithfully    
 

However to safeguard the Board's position, the agreement for supply to such consumers should be executed within six months from the date of such undertaking to avoid any possible troubles or litigation on this account. The date of commencement of supply to be stated in the agreement would be the original date of commencement of supply given on the strength of the undertaking. On receipt of stamped agreement forms preference should be given for execution
of agreement with consumers served on the strength of such undertaking and only after such agreements have been executed should the remaining stamped forms be used for entering into agreements with other consumers,

All the field officers are requested to take note of and follow the above.
