What you are owed in Kerala when power isn't restored

Deadline
Fuse: 4 hours in a town, 6 in a village, 8 in a hilly area. Line or cable: 6, 8 and 12 hours. Transformer: 18, 24 and 36 hours.
If it's missed
₹100 each time supply is late. ₹200 a week for a voltage problem left unfixed.
How it's paid
Meant to reach your bill automatically since March 2026, with no claim. Read the small print before you rely on that.

The March 2026 rules added automatic payment, but the same schedule says payment stays manual until KSEB builds the system. Until then: apply in Form A within 30 days, a decision follows in 60 days and payment in 30. Amounts went up sharply, from ₹25 to ₹100 and ₹25 to ₹200.
