The Maharashtra Electricity Regulatory Commission (MERC) provided major relief for over 23 lakh Reliance power consumers in suburban Mumbai when it decreed on Wednesday that customers could continue to pay according to the old tariff.
MERC's order will stay in place until it completes its ongoing probe into allegations of ``inflated'' bills and issues further directives, state energy minister Sunil Tatkare said.
The MERC order stays the hike for 23 lakh out of Reliance's 27 lakh consumers, and applies to all residential consumers (except those below the poverty line) and some commercial and industrial customers.

Before reliance i use to pay 500-600 rs. electricity bill per month. Recently (for last 5 to 6 months) i pay 1000+ or 1500 per month on some occasions. Only addition to my gadgets since then is a water heater.
Should i blame reliance or "Om Sai Electronics - Gaziabad".
