These rebates have some terms and conditions, which you should be privy to. Here's what you need to know about paying electricity bills in Goa.

As per official reports, domestic consumers can avail of a rebate of 1.25% if they pay bills online and seven days prior to the due date. The move will not only benefit users, but will also help the state electricity department to clear its records in time.
