\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n

KARACHI \u2013 Despite severe shortages of natural gas and intermittent unavailability, Sui Southern Gas Company has issued notifications regarding estimation and payment of monthly rates for domestic consumers based on OGRA\u2019s directive.<\/p>\n

The new tariff has been implemented since November, and under the new policy, domestic consumers are divided into two categories: first category is called \u201cnon-protected\u201d, and the second category is \u201cprotected\u201d.<\/p>\n

Under this classification, domestic consumers who have used an average of 91 CM or more gas during the 4-month period from November to February will be termed as \u201cnon-protected\u201d, while those using less than 90 will be termed as protected.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, consumers in the \u201cProtected\u201d category will have to pay a fixed charge of Rs400 on every bill. The minimum bill for a \u201cprotected\u201d consumer will be Rs650 , and the maximum will be Rs1350, whereas for a \u201cNon-Protected\u201d consumer, the minimum bill will be Rs1440 to Rs87000. Both categories\u2019 bills will include a meter rent of Rs400 rupees and 18% General Sales Tax, regardless of gas usage.<\/p>\n

A \u201cnoon-protected\u201d consumer will have to pay a fixed charge of at least Rs1000 or more up to Rs2000 on 150CM. The average amount of the bill will increase with increased gas usage in both categories.<\/p>\n
