The Calcutta Electric Supply Corporation or CESC is the Kolkata-based flagship company of the RP-Sanjiv Goenka Group that distributes power all over Kolkata and surrounding areas. The common consumers often fall victim to cases of mishandling and bill manipulation from the end of CESC. Recently in 2020, people have widely accused CESC of overbilling during the lockdown period.
Thus, it is recommended to be aware of the Legal Process to file a complaint against CESC.
Any consumer can file a complaint against CESC on the following grievances to the consumer court:
