in order to ascertain the number of consumers to be billed in ‘Offline Mode’. Based on the field study,

Supply Division (ESD) of JBVNL.

The consumer database provided by the Agency in its report in soft format (MS Excel) shall be duly
verified by the EEE/ESD after conducting a field visit on sample cases basis. The report so verified
by the EEE/ESD shall then be forwarded to the Electrical Superintending Engineer (ESE) of the

General Manager – cum – Chief Engineer of the concerned Electric Supply Area for final approval.

which the Agency shall have to follow the due process as detailed above. The report shall contain
details of the variation in the number of consumers w.r.t. the previous report to be billed under

Hazaribagh & Medininagar (ESA)

clarified that in case the Agency does not timely submit its report for the next quarter, then JBVNL
shall consider the consumer data as per the previous quarter’s data.

Billing Mechanism:
It is to clarify that only those consumers which would be declared by the Agency as offline consumers
and verified by JBVNL would be allowed for offline consumers. The billing of all consumers to be
billed under ‘Offline Mode’ shall be carried out as follows:
1. Urja Mitra (UM) shall visit the Consumer’s Premise
2. UM shall enter “Consumer Number” and “Sub-Division Name/Number” into the billing
application on its mobile device.
3. UM shall see a Pop-Up being shown on the mobile screen stating, “Offline Consumer”.
4. UM shall then go to ‘Offline Billing’ section in the Mobile Application, wherein the UM shall be
able to see a list of Consumers, whose details were saved, would be shown in the mobile
application.
5. The UM would then select the consumers one by one and click on “Confirm”.
6. The Urja Mitra shall then capture a Photograph of the Meter Reading and shall enter the
Current Meter Readings and Meters Status along with remarks into the Mobile Applicationand
shall then press “Save Data” button in the Mobile App.
7. The UM after capturing all the reading shall then visit the nearest Section/ESSD/Substation
Office of JBVNL or shall go to a nearby area where mobile network is available and shall open
the Mobile Application.
8. UM shall then press the “Generate Bill” Button. Before clicking the “Generate Bill”, in case UM
is of the view that the Bill amount is Wrong/Exorbitant/Absurd/High Billing, the UM must
start from the Step-1 for wrongly billed consumers.
9. Thereafter the UM shall print the bills generated and shall then deliver it to the respective
consumers who were billed in ‘Offline Mode’.

Further, it is also clarified that JBVNL reserves the right to revise the billing mechanism for ‘Offline
Billing’ at any time during the validity of the contract. If, during the process of this tender or
during the entire tenure of the Agency with JBNVL, some methodology/technology is
derived by JBVNL to carry out the billing of offline consumers through OCR
technology (as per the actual meter reading on spot) and the Agency is billing the
Offline consumers through OCR based technology; in that case, the Agency shall be
eligible to get 100% of the Quoted rate/consumer as per Schedule 9 of this tender.

8.3 Billing Coverage based Incentive component:


The bidders will be entitled to an incentive based on the ‘Billing Coverage’ by an agency in its area,
over and above the quoted ‘Billing Price Bid’. The incentives defined against the target ‘Billing
Coverage’ to be achieved by each Urja Mitra every month is as below:

Bill % (Billing Coverage) Amount Received / Claimable by Money


Billing Agency (Rs. X / bill generated) Received
by the UM
(min 60%
of the
financial
quote per
consumer
(Rs. Y))
70% -79.99% Rs. X / bill generated Rs. Y
80% - 84.99% Rs. (X + 0.50) / bill generated Rs. Y +
85% - 89.99% Rs. (X + 1.00) / bill generated 50% of the
90% - 94.99% Rs. (X + 1.50) / bill generated additional
95% - 99.99% Rs. (X + 2.00) / bill generated incentive/
100% Rs. (X + 2.50) / bill generated bill
generated
received by
Billing
Agency

The incentive amount would be provided on the “Total Billing Coverage”. The formulae for the same

Billing Coverage = (Total Consumers Billed in a month or billing cycle by UM/ (Total Effective
Consumers to be billed by UM in that month or billing cycle- Self billed consumers)*100
Incentive amount will be depending upon the billing coverage as per the above table.

i.e. if an Agency, in a particular month has done a billing coverage of 91%; then they would be
eligible for an incentive of Rs. 1.50/consumer for the total number of consumers they have billed
in that particular month.

The minimum billing coverage to be achieved by the agency is 70%, below which the Liquidated
Damages is applicable as per Clause 8.9 will be applicable.
