An individual said, "Happened to us when we were renting in college. Nobody could help, and had to pay approx 50k for a wrong reading. We checked the line, the meter and all the appliances and nothing was wrong with it. We asked Adani to re-verify but nothing came of it and we had to pay."

Another posted, "I think someone is stealing your house's electricity. I think some 1-kilowatt power line connection is somehow made to your house's main connection, and it is sucking electricity like hell."

"Go to your nearest electricity substation and get them to check again at the physical meter. This month we got a bill of 37k, but after getting it checked, it came out to 15k only (which is what we were expecting)

You might have to run again and again or maybe bribe the person there to get it rechecked, though," commented a third.
