Step 2: Give your address, consumer ID, and describe the issue.

Step 3: Note the complaint number provided — you’ll need this to track resolution.

Step 4: If the issue isn’t resolved in 4–6 hours, call again with your complaint number and escalate.

DHBVN Complaint Escalation Process

If your initial complaint is not resolved within a reasonable time, here’s the formal escalation ladder:

Level 1: Local Sub-Division / Divisional Office

File at the local DHBVN office (or online as above). Standard resolution time: 7–15 days for billing, 4–24 hours for power faults.

Level 2: Internal Grievance Redressal Cell (IGRC)

If Level 1 is not resolved within 3 months, escalate to the IGRC at the Divisional office.

Level 3: Consumer Grievance Redressal Forum (CGRF)

If still unresolved after IGRC, approach the CGRF — a quasi-judicial body that handles consumer disputes. You may directly approach CGRF within 1 year from when the issue first occurred.

How to file with CGRF:

• Submit a written grievance at the nearest CGRF zonal office
• Include: Name, address, Account ID, nature of issue, and expected resolution
• Submission can be by post, fax, or in person
• You’ll receive an acknowledgement with a serial number
• CGRF must deliver a decision within 45 days of filing

Important for Monetary Disputes: You must deposit 20% of the disputed amount (excluding the current bill) with DHBVN and include the receipt with your CGRF complaint.

Level 4: Electricity Ombudsman, Haryana

If the CGRF decision is unsatisfactory, or 45 days pass with no resolution — you can escalate to the Electricity Ombudsman of Haryana within 30 days of the final CGRF decision.
