Refund for Incorrect Billing: Customers erroneously billed at the new rate should be refunded through energy tokens by Thursday, 11th April 2024. DisCos must provide evidence of compliance with the commission by 12th April 2024.

Compliance Monitoring: NERC will closely monitor compliance with the directives and continue supporting all stakeholders as necessary.
