TNEB (Electricity Board) Additional Deposit (ACCD) - What is ACCD & How to calculate ?


TNEB (Electricity Board) Additional Deposit (ACCD) - What is ACCD & How to calculate ?

Thank you all for the response and feedback for my earlier post about Electricity Usage Tariffs in TN. This post is in response to the query raised by Arun Kumar in my previous post. He has rightly pointed out that many people were puzzled about this Additional Deposit being charged by the TNEB and it is true that most of us didn't know how it is being calculated.  I just gone through few articles, TNEB sites and got to know few things about Additional Deposit, otherwise called as ACCD (Additional Current Consumption Deposit) which I am sharing below. All the points below were just my interpretation of the facts found in the sites referred at the bottom and I cannot assure the correctness of the same. 

What is ACCD & When it is assessed ? 
  • ACCD - Additional Current Consumption Deposit is like a caution deposit (Refundable) which is found in excess of what was already paid as "Consumption Deposit". The difference amount will be collected in the following manner.
  • The adequacy of security deposit may be reviewed and refixed once in a year in case of HT (High Tension) consumers and 
  • Once in every two years in case of LT (Low Tension) consumers.
  • It shall be made in the month of April / May 
  • Most of the home and domestic consumption were of LT and hence our household ACCD will be assessed once in two years.
Calculation of ACCD (Additional Deposit) Amount : 

The amount of security deposit shall be based on the periodicity of billing for the respective category.

A. For Monthly Billing Consumers : 

The Security Deposit is equivalent to two times of the monthly average of the electricity charges for the preceding twelve months.

Ie. ACCD = 2 x ( Total of Last 12 months Consumption Charges / 12 )

Amount to be collected now as ACCD = ACCD (As Calculated above) Less Current consumption deposit paid already.

Eg : If you paid Rs. 12,000 (Totally) for the past 12 months, then your average monthly EB Charges will come to Rs.1,000 per month. And the ACCD as calculated above will be Rs.2,000 ( 2 x Rs.1,000 ). If you have already paid Rs. 1,000 as consumption charge, the amount which you need to pay now is Rs.2,000 - Rs.1,000 = Rs.1,000.

B. For Bi-Monthly Billing Consumers (Most of the households and domestic usage comes under this category) :

The Security Deposit is equivalent to three times of the monthly average of the electricity charges for the preceding twelve months.

Ie. ACCD = 3 x ( Total of Last 12 months Consumption Charges / 12 )

Amount to be collected now as ACCD = ACCD (As Calculated above) Less Current consumption deposit paid already.

Eg : If you paid Rs. 12,000 (Totally) for the past 12 months, then your average monthly EB Charges will come to Rs.1,000 per month. And the ACCD as calculated above will be Rs.3,000 ( 3 x Rs.1,000 ). If you have already paid Rs. 1,000 as consumption charge, the amount which you need to pay now is Rs.3,000 - Rs.1,000 = Rs.2,000.

C. For Half-Yearly Billing Consumers : 


The security deposit is 
equivalent to seven times of the average charges per month.

Ie. ACCD = 7 x ( Total of Last 12 months Consumption Charges / 12 )

Amount to be collected now as ACCD = ACCD (As Calculated above) Less Current consumption deposit paid already.

Eg : If you paid Rs. 12,000 (Totally) for the past 12 months, then your average monthly EB Charges will come to Rs.1,000 per month. And the ACCD as calculated above will be Rs.7,000 ( 3 x Rs.1,000 ). If you have already paid Rs. 1,000 as consumption charge, the amount which you need to pay now is Rs.7,000 - Rs.1,000 = Rs.6,000.

Rules regarding the Additional Deposit : 

  • If available deposit is less than the revised Security deposit, the balance shall be collected as Additional Security deposit either through a separate notice or by a distinct entry in the consumer meter card for LT services. 
  • Thirty days notice period shall be allowed for the payment. 
  • If the payment is not received within the above period of thirty days, the service is liable for disconnection.
What if the available deposit (Already Paid) is in excess of what is being calculated as above ? 

  • If the amount of Security deposit held is found to be in excess of the requirement, the excess shall be adjusted against two future demands for the electricity supplied. 
  • Where, after such adjustment in future two demands, there is balance to be refunded, the refund shall be made by cheque before the due date for payment of the third demand.
Conclusion : 

Hope this post helps you to find out what is ACCD and how it is being calculated. As pointed above, these are just my own interpretations of the facts which I found through the sites reffered at the bottom. I request you all to cross-check the same with amount charged for you and let me know if it works fine . If any of you finds that the data which I provided is incorrect, feel free to mail me : innovativedeepak87@gmail.com.

  2. Thanks Deepak for the post. Although the break-up of deposit is clear, it is still puzzling as to why the government needs to collect a deposit once in a few years unless there is a need for extra cash to buy extra power, which may be the result of improper forecasting and financial planning...just my thought. Thanks again for taking time to respond to the query. If the EB responds with half the interest, we won't have a power problem. Keep writing!!!

  7. Thanks Yuva Raj ! You mean the refund of the excess of deposit received by TNEB ? If so ,the detials of which were there in the last paragraph.

    If you mean the refund of the deposit as a whole, I am not sure. I have heard that it will be refunded only at the time of disconnection which will never happen :) It might happen only when we relocate to some other state.

    2. It depends quantity of supply used by whoever whether tenant or previous usage of houseowner. Its a deposit only. It will be refunded when we surrender the service.

  10. Prem : That supposed to be the question of thousands. As a tenant we can't get back the amount from TNEB while vacating the house. It is like the contract between the TNEB & Landlord and it will be refunded only when the service is surrendered on its entirety. Thats my view.

  24. hi sir, in my electricity bill that I paid last month it says "security deposit required rs.4044.

    Security deposit already available: Rs.4869(includes int. @ 9%p.a. Rs.251).

    Excess security deposit eligible for bill adjustment/refund by the owner of s/c:Rs.825."

    In this same bill I have also been charged rs.427 as current consumption arrears. When there is excess of 825 as security deposit why have they charged rs.427 along with my current consumption charge which is rs.790?

    sir what are rs.4044, rs. 4869, rs.251, rs. 825 and rs. 427? it would be kind of you if u explain me in detail sir.

  32. Good findings Deepak, my feedback on the system is
    1. There is no clarity on how much we paid previously some times it appears in the console, most of the time its not.
    2. Consumer is not having any benefit on paying this amount, none knows when we get the refund! of-course no one can surrender their EB connection back to TNEB.
    3. Monthly and Bi-monthly calculation logic is wrong, TNEB has to multiply bi monthly average by 2 not by 3. Since Bi monthly consumers already paying unit rates in Compound tariff basis. When you chose monthly option you dont need to pay over cap payments as what ever you consume above 400 units. it would be restricted. Very wrong logic and punishing consumers. TNEB rise lot of fund but all going in vein due to corruption, as usual its on Consumer's head. More tax, more tariffs, more pain for us.

  48. It is tenant should pay accd. Tenant should get consent letter from owner so it is calculated 3 times otherwise 6 times. Accd is additional current consumption deposit. If tenant is consuming more current than usual current , the tenant must pay with permission letter from owner 3 times. If owner did not provide a consent letter, 6 times of charges must be deposited by tenant.

When I checked in local TANGEDCO JE office, I was shown thstvthe computer picks up the highest bimonthly bill paid in last 12 months and divides by 2 and multiplies by 3 to arrive at an exhorbitant wrong ACCD and computes the top up amount required.
