Electricity Submeter Billing for Banquets: Documenting Pre-Event and Post-Event Units (2026)

Why power billing must be tracked accurately per event:

The table below outlines a standard commercial utility billing calculation for an 8-hour wedding reception in Tier 1 India:

Standard operating procedure for duty electricians and floor managers:

• Step 1: Opening Meter Reading & Co-Signed Photo (T-2 Hours): Duty electrician and client host/outside decorator photograph the digital submeter display, co-signing the opening reading in Venura OS.
• Step 2: Continuous Power Factor Monitoring: Verify that the APFC capacitor bank maintains a power factor above 0.98, preventing DISCOM low power factor penalties.
• Step 3: Closing Meter Reading & Photo (T+1 Hour): Immediately upon event conclusion, photograph closing meter units in the presence of the client host.
• Step 4: 1-Tap Digital Utility Invoice Generation: Venura auto-calculates total units consumed, applies commercial DISCOM tariffs (₹12.50/unit), and generates an itemized utility bill in 5 seconds.
• Step 5: Automated Security Deposit Deduction: The utility surcharge is deducted directly from the client's refundable security deposit, with the remaining balance returned via instant UPI.
