In case of outstanding bills, the families of riot victims will be charged Rs 250 per month from the date of last payment till July 2015 and those who lines have been disconnected will be charged on similar basis till the date of disconnection.
The late payment surcharge will be fully waived off in all such cases and the consumers will be given the option of paying the dues in instalments over a period of six months.
"Further, electricity bills of many victims are disputed. The families of 1984 riots victims have requested the government to provide relief in settlement of long pending electricity bills," Power Secretary Sukhesh Kumar Jain said.
The scheme, primarily aimed at the residents of JJ clusters, was launched Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on August 30 and was subsequently extended till October 30.
"Power Department has informed that about 43,000 cases have been settled under this scheme so far. The public in general including many MLA's have requested the government that the consumer may be allowed some more time to avail the benefits of the scheme," an official statement said.
