Billing Queries

What is the Billing Procedure?

Every customer is allotted a unique BP (Business Partner) and CA (Contract Account) Number). Customer falls in a specific zone, bills are generated on same date every alternate month as per the Zones.

First bill is generated based on actual meter reading taken. An assessed bill is then sent after two months which is again followed by an actual bill. This sequence is followed alternately. Billing cycle is defined as Bi-monthly.

Whether my bill generated is Actual or Assessed?

In case of an ACTUAL bill, the exact reading is taken as shown in the meter on a particular date and the same is reflected in the bill. Alternatively, if reading is not available, a bill is generated on an ASSESSED basis.

Assessed or Actual is suitably stated in the bill. Refer to Bill History and the reading page.

Periodicity of ACTUAL bill?

Meter reading is obtained by MGL for every alternate bill. In case reading is available, bills are raised accordingly. If no reading is available, bills are raised on Assessed basis (Based on last six bill raised)

If a customer has not received three actual bills, a standard average of 0.42 SCMD per day is used while calculating the gas consumption for the number of days between two billing cycles.

As and then the meter reading is available actual bill will be raised which will be on pro-rata basis from last Actual reading billed to the Current actual bill.

If your consumption is more than what is being billed, (you can check your meter for closing reading) inform MGL as per the Procedure stated in the FAQ.
