It is observed
that while giving H.T. supply to the licensees references
are being made to the Head Office by some of the field
officers for clarification on the point, whether service
connection charges are to be recovered from the licensees
concerned.
It is therefore specifically brought to the notice
of all the Executive Engineers in the field that no
service connection charges are to be collected from
the licensees for giving them the grid supply. In
this connection it may be noted that the supply is
given to the licensees in terms of the provisions
of the Electricity(Supply) Act 1948 under Section
35 or 36 and the second or the third schedule as the
case may be, wherein it is laid down that the Board
shall bear the whole of the cost of the service apparatus
required for making the supply available to the licensee.
