Disclaimer

1. Estimates only

Every number produced by a BidyutBill calculator — total bill, appliance running cost, solar payback, generator comparison, or any other output — is an estimate based on the inputs you provide and the published BERC tariff schedule. Actual bills issued by your distribution utility may differ due to rounding conventions, meter multiplying factors, fuel-adjustment surcharges, arrears, one-off fees, local billing-cycle timing, or data-entry differences that a general calculator cannot account for.

2. Not legal, financial or engineering advice

Content on this site — including guides on tariff categories, net metering, wiring inspection, and billing disputes — is provided for general educational purposes only. It is not a substitute for advice from a licensed electrical engineer or contractor, a qualified financial advisor, or a lawyer. Decisions about wiring, solar installation sizing, load sanctioning, or formal legal complaints should be made in consultation with an appropriately qualified professional and your distribution utility.

3. Your official bill prevails

In any discrepancy between a figure calculated on this site and the bill issued by your distribution utility (DESCO, DPDC, NESCO, BPDB, WZPDCL, or your local Palli Bidyut Samity under BREB), the official bill is the authoritative and legally binding document. Use our calculators to sanity-check or plan, not as grounds on their own to withhold payment — follow the dispute process described in our fix a wrong bill guide instead.

4. Independence from utilities and regulators

BidyutBill is an independent website and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or acting on behalf of BERC, BPDB, DESCO, DPDC, NESCO, WZPDCL, BREB, or any government body. We do not process payments, file complaints, or issue connections on anyone's behalf.

5. External links

Links to utility websites, payment apps, and other external resources are provided for convenience and were accurate at the time of publication. We do not control and are not responsible for the content, availability, or accuracy of external sites, and inclusion of a link is not an endorsement.

6. Advertising disclosure

This site is supported by advertising, including ads served through Google AdSense. Advertisements are clearly distinguishable from editorial content and are not written, reviewed, or approved by our editorial team. We do not accept payment in exchange for altering a published tariff figure, fee, or recommendation.

7. Electrical safety warning

Electrical wiring, meter tampering, and working near live connections carry serious risk of injury, fire, or death. Never attempt to open, bypass, or modify a meter or service connection yourself. Always use a licensed electrician for wiring work, and contact your distribution utility or the national emergency service immediately for any exposed wiring, sparking, burning smell, or suspected electrocution hazard.
