Good Governance Award Scheme by Haryana to recognize outstanding public service
The state government has notified the ‘Haryana Good Governance Award Scheme 2024’ (Haryana Sushaasan Puraskaar Yojana 2024).
To provide real time meter reading and accurate billing facility without installing meter-readers to its consumers, Uttar Haryana Bijli Vitran Nigam (UHBVN), power distribution company, has taken up smart metering project.
Now, the consumers can monitor their real time meter reading, actual per day consumption and make online payments and other payments by registering on DISCOM web portal (www.uhbvn.org.in) or on “UHBVN Smart Meter” mobile app available on Playstore and iOS.
Besides providing the facility of online recharging the smart meters also have the feature of pre-paid, wherein the prepaid balance is updated on daily basis as per the consumption of the user. To promote prepaid billing, UHBVN is also offering a five per cent discount on sale of power to prepaid consumers which is beneficial for both farmers and tenants.
