THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF POWER

(SHRI SHRIPAD NAIK)

(a) to (c) : (i) Government of India has notified the Electricity (Late Payment Surcharge and Related Matters) Rules, 2022 (LPS Rules, 2022) on 3rd June, 2022. Under these rules,  all  the  dues,  including  late  payments  surcharges,  upto  3rd  June  2022  were considered as arrears which were to be rescheduled and the distribution licensee shall pay such dues in equated monthly instalments (EMIs), starting from August 2022. 13 States reported arrears amounting to Rs. 1,39,947 Cr. as on 03.06.2022 and rescheduled them into EMIs.

- (ii) As a result of these measures, 43 EMIs have been paid by the distribution utilities concerned, including pre-payment of legacy dues by some utilities, and the outstanding legacy  dues  have  reduced  to  ₹4,109  crore  as  on  10.02.2026.  State-wise  details  are placed at Annexure.
- (iii) In view of credible improvement in the payment of their dues by the distribution utilities,  there  does  not  seem to  be any requirement of a liquidation scheme for the same.
