Just like the compensation given in the April-June period, the July compensation claim is also specifically for subsidized electricity customers. These customers are electricity users with a power of 450 Volt Ampere (VA) and 900 VA in the subsidized category.
So, if you want to make a compensation claim for the July electricity bill, first make sure that you are included as a subsidized user. One way to check is by checking the previous month's electricity bill. In the electricity bill for non-subsidized 900 VA customers, there is usually a code R1M in the tariff column. So, if you find that code, it means you are not eligible to receive compensation for the July electricity bill.
