Which slab do 700 units fall in?

700 units fall in the 601 to 700 unit slab: Rs 41.85 a unit and a fixed charge of Rs 675 per kW for an un-protected home. Un-protected homes pay one rate on every unit of the month, set by the slab the total falls in.

There is no protected rate above 200 units. A 700-unit month is billed at un-protected rates, and a home that was protected loses that status until it has six months in a row at 200 units or less.

How close is 700 to the next slab?

700 units is the top of the 601 to 700 slab, so one more unit moves the whole month to Rs 47.20 a unit. For a 1 kW un-protected home, 701 units would cost about Rs 4,550 more than 700.
