The Madhya Pradesh Government Electrical Undertakings (Dues Recovery) Act 1961
This law provides a streamlined mechanism for the state government and the Madhya Pradesh Electricity Board to recover unpaid electricity dues, equipment hire charges, and related penalties from consumers. It applies to any individual or entity owing money to state-controlled electrical undertakings within Madhya Pradesh. Under this law, authorities can issue formal bills and demand notices for unpaid amounts. If a debtor fails to pay or challenge the claim in civil court after depositing the disputed sum, the government can recover the outstanding dues directly as arrears of land revenue, ensuring swift debt collection and financial stability for public power utilities.
