Haryana Government Electrical Undertakings (Dues Recovery) Act, 1970
This Act governs the collection of payments owed to the Haryana State Electricity Board and other government-run electrical utilities. It applies to any individual or business, known as a debtor, who uses electricity or related equipment and fails to pay their bills by the due date. The law mandates that bills clearly state payment deadlines and allows authorities to issue formal demand notices for overdue amounts. If a debtor does not pay after receiving this notice, the debt becomes recoverable as a land revenue arrears, giving the government the power to use standard tax collection methods to seize assets or take legal action. This ensures that essential public services are funded and helps the state manage its financial obligations effectively.
