About JBVNL tariff structure

Jharkhand Bijli Vitran Nigam Ltd. 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 JBVNL bill includes a fixed charge of ₹100/kW/month on your sanctioned load, an FAC pass-through of ₹0.20/unit (revised monthly), and Jharkhand electricity duty of 6%. Eligible households also receive a state subsidy of ₹6.65/unit on the first 125 units.

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

JBVNL per-unit rate — common questions

Answers to the most common electricity bill questions in India.

What is the per unit electricity rate of JBVNL in 2026?
JBVNL domestic energy charges start at ₹6.65/unit for the first 400 units and rise to ₹7.50/unit at the highest slab. Slabs are telescopic — only units within each slab are billed at that rate. See the full slab table on this page. Effective 2025-04-01.
How much will 1 unit of electricity cost on my JBVNL bill?
1 unit (1 kWh) is billed at the slab rate that applies to your monthly consumption — starting at ₹6.65/unit. The effective rate on your bill is higher because of fixed charges (₹100/kW), FAC, and electricity duty (6%). At a 100-unit monthly consumption, the all-in rate is roughly ₹9.38/unit.
What is the commercial per-unit rate for JBVNL?
JBVNL commercial (LT) energy charges start at ₹6.65/unit and go up to ₹6.65/unit. Commercial fixed charges are ₹150/kW/month — typically higher than domestic. Industrial (LT) is usually a flat ₹6.25/unit.
What is the FAC and electricity duty for JBVNL?
JBVNL currently passes through ₹0.20/unit as Fuel Adjustment Charge (FAC / FPPCA — varies monthly). Jharkhand electricity duty is 6% on the energy + fixed + FAC base. These add to your effective per-unit cost beyond the headline slab rate.
Is there a subsidy on JBVNL per-unit rates?
Yes — eligible domestic consumers get a subsidy of ₹6.65/unit on the first 125 units. This effectively reduces the slab-1 rate to ₹0.00/unit for qualifying households.
How often does JBVNL change its per-unit rates?
Slab rates are revised through the annual SERC tariff order — typically effective from 1 April each financial year. The current JBVNL rates are effective from 2025-04-01. FAC is revised more frequently (often monthly) to reflect fuel cost movements.
