ABSTRACT
Main objective of this project is to implement an application which deals with Electricity
billing systems where the consumption of power in a month is calculated per the units
consumed. Initially, all the information about Customers will be written in a file and is
read from that file and calculates the amount consumed and generates the bill. This
system provides effective mechanism to Electricity billing system for admin by
recording each activity.

The Electricity billing system is primarily engrossed on managing Customer name,

service number, Electricity revenue office, present reading, previous reading, units
consumed, amount to pay, bill date, Total bill amount.

This system is implements using the concepts of files and some arithmetic operation to
calculate bill amount thus maintaining a database on the consumers. This way it is easy to
handle large amount of data within a short span of time in an orderly manner. This project
reads a file and generates bill amount and bill status(paid/unpaid) and date paid and saves
this data in a new file.

1.1 Module 1-Managing Customer record:

This module is about managing the customer records. In this first we create a customer
file and update their records into this file. In this we can even search and display the
customer records.

1.To provide Security

2.To process menu.
3.To create customer file.
4.To update customer file.
5.To generate Reports.
6.To search for customer information.
1.2 Module 2 Managing the electric bills :

This module is about managing the electricity bills of the customers. In this we will create a
bills file of the customer. Here we will also update their bills into this file and can also
generate those records.
1.To create Bills file.
2.To update Bills file.
3. To generate Reports

1.3 Module 3 Tracking bill status :

This module is to track the bills of the customer.In this we will verify whether
the customer has paid the bill or not ..if not we will send a notification to them regarding that
issue.
1.To update payments.
2.To notify defaulters.
3.To generate Reports.

INTRODUCTION:

What is Electricty Billing system ?

Main aim of this project is to implement an application which deals with maintaining
Electricity bill related activities like generating an electricity bill, storing customer personal
records and other administrative activities. Initially, all the information about customers will
be entered and maintained, which in turn helps to generate an electricity bill based on the
customer’s consumption of electricity. This system will reduce manual work for maintaining
records in files.

Problem definition:
In this first we create a customer file and update their records into this file. we can even
search and display the customer records.And we will create a bills file of the customer
update their bills into this file and can also generate those records.Next verify whether the
customer has paid the bill or not ..if not we will send a notification to them regarding that
issue. Last we will display the system banner and we will even provide security by creating
password to our file.

2.DESIGN
Input Design :

For creating a file, the system takes all inputs from keyboard and the writes to file.

A sample input dialog for creating Account file is shown below

student name(user/quit):user

Password:Bill

Enter choice [1-6]:1

Enter a bill number

4536

Enter the name

jyothsna

Enter phone number

12345

Enter units consumed

Enter Service tax

For selecting different functions of the system it displays a menu and reads the choice of user
from keyboard.

The System also takes input from files .

2.4 Output Design

The output of the system (including reports) is displayed on the console in a formatted way.

SCHEDULE:

Enter choice [1-6]: 3

bill number : 4536
Name : Jyothsna
phone number :12345

Total bill : 11
