About PSPCL tariff structure

Punjab State Power Corporation 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 PSPCL bill includes a fixed charge of a load-band based amount on your sanctioned load, an FAC pass-through of ₹0.30/unit (revised monthly), and Punjab electricity duty of 13%. Eligible households also receive a state subsidy of ₹4.49/unit on the first 300 units.

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

PSPCL per-unit rate — common questions

Answers to the most common electricity bill questions in India.

What is the per unit electricity rate of PSPCL in 2026?
PSPCL domestic energy charges start at ₹4.49/unit for the first 100 units and rise to ₹7.30/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 PSPCL bill?
1 unit (1 kWh) is billed at the slab rate that applies to your monthly consumption — starting at ₹4.49/unit. The effective rate on your bill is higher because of fixed charges (₹—/kW), FAC, and electricity duty (13%). At a 100-unit monthly consumption, the all-in rate is roughly ₹5.70/unit.
What is the commercial per-unit rate for PSPCL?
PSPCL commercial (LT) energy charges start at ₹6.35/unit and go up to ₹7.50/unit. Commercial fixed charges are ₹80/kW/month — typically higher than domestic. Industrial (LT) is usually a flat ₹6.07/unit.
What is the FAC and electricity duty for PSPCL?
PSPCL currently passes through ₹0.30/unit as Fuel Adjustment Charge (FAC / FPPCA — varies monthly). Punjab electricity duty is 13% on the energy + fixed + FAC base. These add to your effective per-unit cost beyond the headline slab rate.
Is there a subsidy on PSPCL per-unit rates?
Yes — eligible domestic consumers get a subsidy of ₹4.49/unit on the first 300 units. This effectively reduces the slab-1 rate to ₹0.00/unit for qualifying households.
How often does PSPCL 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 PSPCL rates are effective from 2025-04-01. FAC is revised more frequently (often monthly) to reflect fuel cost movements.
