electricity pele generaly have standard reply that first pay the bill and then we will resolve and adjust n next bill.

Your case appears to be much more than ordinary excess billing matter.

You can file complaint with the consumer forum. Most of the state electricity boards have separate system for electricity bill disputes, confirm in case of your state.

Can move for stay against disconnection or taking other steps for recovery during pendency of complaint.
