Woman charged with Rs 1.03 lakhs of electricity bill | Photo: PTIA 90-year-old woman got the shock of her life when she received an electricity bill of a whopping Rs 1 lakh for her shack, which has just two LED bulbs. Girijamma, who lives with her son in the small hut in Bhagyanagar, Karnataka, usually gets a monthly bill of about Rs 70 or Rs 80 per month. She was in for a rude shock after getting a bill to the tune of Rs 1,03,315 for the month of May. The nonagenarian had gotten the electricity connection under the Bhagya Jyoti scheme, aimed at providing electricity at a minimum price to people living below the poverty line in slums. Later, the officials asked her not to pay the bill and assured her that it would be revised.
