It is, therefore, essential that while sending the revenue statements, the amount of realization and the number of units consumed on PSEB offices/works may be separately indicated so that a record of the consumption and revenue involved may be separately kept and the actual revenue realised is computed. 152.8 In case of such offices where the buildings have been taken on hire and the connection is in the name of the land lord/lady, the officer Incharge of such offices should inform the AE/AEE/XEN(Ops) accordingly.
