Slab wise Calculation of bill for 64.15 KL consumption of Water considering tariff rate of Individual Household:
1st Slab: {10KL/30days (0.33KL) x No of billing days (say 35days)} x Rate (Rs.22)
=11.67 KL x Rs.22 = Rs. 256.67
2nd Slab: {10KL/30days (0.33KL) x No of billing days (say 35days)} x Rate (Rs.25)
=11.67 KL x Rs.25 = Rs. 291.67
3rd Slab: {10KL/30days (0.33KL) x No of billing days (say 35days)} x Rate (Rs.29)
=11.67 KL x Rs.29 = Rs. 338.33
4th Slab: Total Consumption - Water Consumption in {1st 2nd & 3rd Slab x Rate (Rs.34)}
= (64.15KL - 35.01KL) x Rs.34 =Rs.991.10
Total: 1st Slab (Rs. 256.67) + 2nd Slab (Rs.291.67) + 3rd Slab (Rs. 338.33) + 4th Slab (Rs.991.10)
= Rs. 1877.77
