While going through the H.T bills of different Divisions, it is observed that the Maximum Demand established by some of the H.T. Consumers has exceeded their contract demand. In such cases immediate action should be taken by the field officers to ascertain whether the maximum demand has exceeded the sanctioned load (after taking into consideration, wherever necessary, the power factor of operation). If it is so, immediate action should be taken to serve a notice on each individual consumer drawing his attention to the contravention of Section (3) of Bombay. Electricity (Special Powers) Act 1946 for which supply to him is liable to be disconnected under Section 4(l) of that Act, He should be asked to restrict his load to the sanctioned limit, till a fresh enganced santion is received. A consumers is liable to be disconnected for breach of this condition.

      If the maximum demand established by a H.T. consumer has exceeded the Contact Demand, but not the sanctioned load, immediate action should be taken by the field officers to increase his contract demand suitably in consultation with consumer provided adequate capacity is available in our system for supply of that much load. The enganced contract demand shall be effective from the first of the month in which the maximum demand had exceeded the contract demand.

In view of the provisions made under section 4(3) Bombay Electricity (Special Powers)Act 1946 the field officers should immediately report any contraventions to this office, so as to enable this office to take up the matter suitably with Governement in the Industries and Labour Department for further necessary action in the matter. ....................................................
