We all are familiar with the current situation due to the coronavirus pandemic and lockdown. It has hampered our lives very badly. At this time, we cannot go out for our work, it seems everything has paused for a time. In this situation, we are unable to pay any commodities. Among all commodities, paying an electricity bill is harder. Well it wasn’t harder yet meter reading became a difficult task to track.
Neither meter reader can reach our home nor we can stay in a long queue as it increases the risk of COVID-19 is getting even harder. But as a result, we cannot pay an increased bill amount at once. It also increases the Nepal Electricity Authority’s financial crisis.
So to solve this problem, the Nepal Electricity Authority (NEA) created a partial automation system to check the bill and pay it. With this system, customers can read their meter and make the payment by themselves. More than 60 distribution centres in Kathmandu, Pokhara, Biratnagar, Butwal, and other areas have been connected to the online billing system.
