Bare Act
The Tripura Electricity Duty Act, 2019
The Tripura Electricity Duty Act, 2019 provides a framework for levying and collecting electricity duty in the state of Tripura. It applies to electricity supply licensees, energy generators including non-conventional producers, and consumers. Under the law, licensees must register, keep detailed accounts, collect duty based on energy and fixed charges, and remit it to the state government. Inspecting officers are empowered to audit records and check meters. The legislation matters because it establishes a structured state revenue source from power consumption while providing rules for interest, penalties for non-compliance, appeal procedures, and government powers to grant exemptions during power supply disruptions.
