Request to revise the penal measures

I state that I am Mr. Ishwar Ramkrishna Marathe, on 15thMarch 2024, I had lodged a complaint regarding the power supply at my residence, so accordingly the Flying squad from thane visited me, and they uninstalled the power meter altogether, and installed it the same it was done by the team from local division office, the power supply was switched on the same day. I also wish to state that the power meter is not my personal property it is always the MSEB’s, the MSEB executive visits us clicks the power meter reading and then the MSEB issues us the bill, which we on a monthly basis pay without fail, so how can the malfunction in the power meter be the consumer’s issue. As per the bill which is generated on the MSEB I have a power demand load of 1KW, but the penalty bill has the power demand load of 4.43KW, I believe against this discrepancy I have been handed over the penalty which i wish to get rectified But now it has been notified to me that, as the meter was faulty it accrued a certain penalty of Rs.148450/- which must be paid by the consumer, which is me, failure to adhere would render my power supply being cut off, the penalty is not a trivial amount but a huge fine which is to be paid within 48 hours of issue so against this backdrop I state that the fine is not at all in my financial ambit, I won’t be able to pay it, you are requested to be lenient on this issue and assist me to the fullest.
