About BESCOM tariff structure

Bangalore Electricity Supply Company bills domestic consumers using a telescopic slab structure. Each slab applies only to the units within that range, so adding a few more units never reprices your earlier (cheaper) units.

Beyond energy charges, the BESCOM bill includes a fixed charge of ₹110/kW/month on your sanctioned load, an FAC pass-through of ₹0.24/unit (revised monthly), and Karnataka electricity duty of 9%.

We verify BESCOM rates against the latest SERC tariff order quarterly. Last verified: 2026-04-22. Original source: official tariff order.
