A businessman in Himachal Pradesh was stunned after receiving an electricity bill of over Rs 200 crore for December 2024. Lalit Dhiman, from Beherwin Jattan village in Hamirpur district, was initially billed Rs 210.42 crore, a stark contrast to his usual payment of Rs 2,500 per month.

Upon raising the issue with the local electricity board, Dhiman was informed that a "technical glitch" had caused the inflated amount. The error was promptly corrected, and his final bill was revised to Rs 4,047.
