What are the peak and off peak rates for 3 phase connections and green meters.
Thank you Govt and Prime Minister. Hope for more relieves.
Peak rates and off peak not shown
shall we praise peanuts because thats what they are good for.
I am paying rupees 48 and 41.68 for peak and off peak hours respectively and I see no relief here. In other words, government is still forcing me to get more lithium batteries.
What about Time-of-Day (ToD) domestic consumers who r currently paying around Rs.41 during off-peak hours & Rs.48 during peak hours?
All praise is due to Allah. PMLN has always thought about the welfare of its people and will continue to do so, God willing. Since I gained consciousness, I have only supported one party and PMLN has always fulfilled its promises. I hope that in the future, they will continue to think about the welfare and prosperity of the people. May Allah grant you and Pakistan double the progress and prosperity. Amen.
