This Act imposes a tax on electricity consumers in Goa to fund the creation and maintenance of street and public lighting infrastructure. It applies to all electricity users, including businesses and residents, who must pay this extra charge along with their regular bills. The revenue collected is used exclusively to improve lighting systems across the state and settle energy costs for public lights. The government can disconnect power if consumers fail to pay this duty, ensuring the funds are available to keep public spaces well-lit and safe for everyone.
