Mad People these are: who asked them for the 30 units, NKT!!!

"Please note that the recovery of the advanced 30 units will be done gradually with 20% of every subsequent prepaid purchase going to it."


This stinks to high heaven. I suspect people will be ripped off and some smart cookie will pocket a stash of cash. As a consumer, you can't tell what goes where, you might never know when you are actually done paying for the 30. It is hard enough to tell as of now without this new charge. A 250/- top up never gets me the same units!!!

Reminds me of my friend who enticed a ka chick into a relationship with a Nokia 3310 then decided to take it back after enjoying the goods...

Maybe this is a deliberate confusion to create an opportunity…

Will they refund the deposit on the old meters?
Remember - whenever bills were not settled on time, penalties for reconnection were amounts added to the deposit.

Let’s hope it doesn’t deteriorate into situation where customer records cannot be traced as witnessed below.

I'm assuming you are in Nrb. Go to E-Hse and collect a form for refund of deposit. Fill it, leave it there with a copy of your ID and the cheque will eventually come through the mail, less the last bill before conversion.

Flip the coin. Atleast they told us, right? Atleast they did not go ahead and recover the value of the 30 units without our knowledge, right? Being prepaid, it would have been easy to just deduct without telling the masses, what with the way units change with different amounts. Yet again, when they installed the prepaid meters, they never said they were free units. They said the prepaid meters came with 30units so that you dont get disconnected when they removed the old meters. So, I see no wrong in what they have done. 30 units was power spent, it was a cost. They are just recovering it.
