This is a smart electricity meter with a prepayment feature. If you charge the meter for a fixed amount, you can use the power supply. The emergence of prepaid meters, will reduce or eliminate fraud and also eradicate delayed payments as well. If you credit the amount for the meter, then you will get electricity. Usually, we get the bill after our usage, also after 2 months of domestic usage; but here the electricity is available if you have money on hand. However, from now you must make the payment in advance. If you don’t charge the meter, there will be no power supply.

The main advantage of the meter is accurate bills with visible reading. You can top up easily and can control the electricity bill by yourself. You can easily switch between prepay and credit without needing an installer to visit your home.
Industrial users also may need to make the payment upfront. Sometimes the commercial units for production will be difficult to anticipate. But the cost of production must be calculated beforehand and must be paid before the production even gets to start. Smart meters come with an in-home display screen showing exactly how much energy is used in pounds and in near real-time. The operation of the smart meter is simple. There is a button in the smart meter to display the readings and you will be able to see the value and code displayed on the meter and can also find the final reading of the previous KSEB bill. You will be able to see the energy used in the last hour, week and month, the level of current electricity use is high, medium or low real-time updates for electricity and half-hourly updates for gas etc. You will need to register your mobile with KSEB portals and will get an SMS on your registered number to submit your current meter reading.
