ISLAMABAD: The government on Sunday announced relief in fuel charge adjustment (FCA) for domestic power consumers having consumed 201 to 300 units.

Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Sept 1 announced exemption in FCA in August’s billing to consumers who used up to 300 units. The exemption previously applied to usage of up to 200 units.

All power distribution companies, including K-Electric, had been ordered to implement the government’s decision, a notification said.

Under the prime minister’s direction, revised bills were being issued with an extension in due date. Users who have already paid their August bills will get the relief in their September bills, the notification said.
