KARACHI: Exorbitant bills have forced people to hit the streets across Pakistan. Here’s why the masses are getting inflated bills. 

Maria Memon, the host of the ARY News program “Sawal Yeh Hai,” while discussing the situation said that by carefully analyzing the electricity bills, every consumer can understand why they are being slapped with heavy bills?

She explained that the electricity bill she has in her hands is of a house that consumed 839 units in the month of August. In this bill, there are two types of charges applied, including the Islamabad Electric Supply Company and government charges.

The electricity charges in the bill are Rs35,842 for 839 units. In addition to this, due to fuel price adjustment, there is an FC surcharge of Rs2,709 and a QTR tariff adjustment of 1,447 rupees, bringing the total charges of this bill to 40,244 rupees.
