Tariff is nothing but a way of charging our bill depending upon the consumption with different charges. We know TNEB is providing 100 units of free electricity to all domestic consumers.
For example if we use 150 units of electricity within 60 days cycle we will be charged for only 50 units by deducting 100 units of free electricity. A report says due to this free electricity nearly 80 lakhs consumers are using electricity at free of cost.
The cost of unit consumed is distributed as energy charges, Fixed charges and consumption charges. The TNEB slab rates for domestic depends upon the number of unit consumed. It is tabulated as above.

How can I check my EB bill in Tamilnadu
Usually one of the executive from EB Board comes to our residence and note the readings and the amount to be paid within the due date.
Now a days it is very easy to find out the reading and we can do it by our self due to the digitization in EB sector. Check the total units consumed by noting down the reading manually in the EB meter and subtract it from the no of units used in the last paid bill.
- We have to login the TNEB website
- Under the billing service tab click on bill calculator
- Fill the necessary field (units consumed) and click on submit

You can also use the above provided calculator as well for calculating domestic TNEB bill calculation.

What Is LT And HT In EB Bill?
- LT and HT means low tension supply and high tension supply.
- High tension supply is used for commercial purpose where heavy machines are equipped.
- Low tension supply is the one used for domestic purpose. Here it is categorized based on the tariff as discussed earlier.
Electricity Bill Calculation Formula
1 UNIT = 1 KWHR OR 1000 WATTS
For eg 5000 W appliance is in operation for 2 hours
We say 5000/1000 = 5 kwhr for 1 hr 5 kw hence for 2 hours we get 10kw/hr and so 10 units is consumed.
