Ranchi: A grocery store owner has got the shock of his life when he received an electricity bill of Rs Rs 55.49 crore for his shop in Ranchi.
Krishna Prasad, who owns a kirana shop at Kadru in the state capital, went in a tizzy when he received the bill on Friday, his brother Jitendra said.
Prasad said he used to pay a maximum bill of Rs 800 every month. He said he didn't receive any bill for the last three months and suddenly got Rs 55,49,88,036 bill.
The Electricity Department officer, however, said that the bill was a result of a technical error. The Department said the corrected bill stands at Rs 10,500. An Electricity Department Official said, "The mistake happened due to a technical error. The bill will be corrected."
Reacting to official's response, Jitendra said, "Going by the previous bills of Rs 800 per month, it should be Rs 2400. We shall contest even the corrected electricity bill when it comes."
