KARACHI: As many as 1.8 million eligible electricity consumers across K-Electric serviced territory in the city and adjoining regions are receiving benefit of the prime minister’s announcement regarding the fuel charge adjustment (FCA) for the month of June.

Such consumers are being delivered adjusted bills for August with extended due dates, a KE spokesperson said, adding that all those eligible consumers who have already paid their non-revised August bills will receive adjusted bills for the month of September.

The spokesperson said that the announcement of June’s FCA relief had come in two parts; it was first announced for Non-ToU (non-time of use) residential consumers having electricity consumption of up to 200 units in June, and later it was extended to the same category of consumers with power consumption up to 300 units in the month following the announcement by the federal government.
