According to a statement issued by BEST on Friday, the first scheme will be for full payment. “If the consumer pays November bill in full immediately, the DPC (delayed payment charges) and IoA (interest on arrears) on electricity usage of April to October will be waived. Consumers will also get a 2% rebate on bills for the months,” it said.

The second scheme will be for payment in instalments. “If the November bill is paid in three equal instalments, DPC and IoA on electricity usage of April to October will be waived, while 1% rebate will be given on bills during the same month.”
