Specifically, the following groups will not be eligible for the refund:<\/p>\n<p>Those classified as lifeline users, households consuming up to 300 units of electricity, electric vehicle charging stations, pre-paid electricity users, and agricultural consumers will not receive the refund.<\/p>\n<p>All other consumer categories will benefit from this refund, provided that the National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (NEPRA) approves the fuel price adjustment for September.<\/p>\n<p>This marks the third consecutive month of FCA reductions, following 18 months of consistent increases. Previously, in July&#8217;s FCA decision, NEPRA directed distribution companies to refund Rs. 0.369 per unit in the September bills.<\/p>\n<p>From January 2023 to June 2024, the FCA remained positive, resulting in extra charges for consumers, peaking at Rs. 7.05 per unit in January 2024.<\/p>\n<p>According to the CPPA&#8217;s petition, September&#8217;s reference fuel charges were Rs. 9.8006 per unit, while actual costs were Rs. 9.0949 per unit, resulting in a refund of Rs. 0.7057 per unit.
