Dear Sir,

Subject: Submission of Final Report for the Bharatpur City under the assignment ‘Independent Review of Energy Audit

methodology for selected Distribution Franchisee towns of Kota & Bharatpur for the F.Y. 2014-15’

This is with reference to our assignment as mentioned in the subject awarded to us via your office as mentioned in

‘Reference’ above.

At the onset, we appreciate the support, in terms of data and timely inputs, provided to us for the completion of the same.

The reports for Bharatpur city has been prepared based on the base data for FY 2014-15, which was required for analysis

under this assignment, and has been duly taken from JVVNL. Our conclusions are based on completeness and accuracy of

stated facts in the report; which if not entirely complete or accurate, should be communicated to us immediately; as such

inaccuracy or incompleteness could have impact on the conclusions.

We have taken all reasonable steps to ensure that the information contained in the reports has been obtained from reliable

sources and the submitted reports are in accordance to the information provided as well the approach and assumption and

considered by us while reviewing the specific parameters required as per the scope of work. Broadly, there were five key

areas in this assignment where we provided the support. The five key areas and our broad approach has been mentioned

below for your reference:

1. Independent assessment of input energy (Mar’14 – Feb’15) being injected in FY 2014-15 : The focus of this phase was

to conduct an independent assessment study for ascertaining the net energy input in Bharatpur city area in FY 14-15.

Preliminary data for the same was collected from Discom. We conducted field visits for collecting MRI data for all the

feeder meters to verify the log book records with meter information. At some places MRI data was not available, such

exceptions and appropriate treatment has been duly mentioned in the reports. Then, log book records maintained at

substation were compared with meter records as captured by MRI based meter readings. A deviation factor was

calculated based on this comparison and the same was applied on log book data to compute the input energy.

2. Computation of variation in energy billed based on review of methodology of Energy billed and from the MIS

reported, if any: The information pertaining to energy billed (MIS billing records and input advices) have been

collected from the Discom. The energy billed broadly consisted of two parts, (a) energy sales corresponding to billing

records for metered & unmetered consumer categories, (b) adjustments in energy sales as per the input advices being

sent to billing agencies by subdivisions. The input advices comprises of (i) sundry reports (CB-4, CB-12, CB-15) and (ii)

MS-14 reports. The focus of this phase was to assess the correctness of adjustments in energy sales done by

subdivisions. For this, we visited the concerned subdivisions and analysed the entries under input advices with the

subdivision records. The entries under the input advices were very large in number, thus a reasonable sample size

(>25%), was considered for obtaining a high confidence level and for timely completion of the assignment. Based on

our assessment of the input advices, we derived the correction factors for adjustments under energy sales. The

correction factor as assessed for adjustments under the energy sales was suitably applied to obtain the revised

adjustments under energy sales. The same were added to energy sales corresponding to the billing record to obtain

category wise energy sales for Bharatpur City.

3. Review of Methodology for ABR and computation of variation from MIS, if any: The ABR has been computed using

the revenue billed divided by energy sales. The revenue billed and energy sales broadly consisted of two parts, (a)

revenue billed and energy sales corresponding to billing records for metered & unmetered consumer categories, (b)

adjustments in revenue billed & energy sales as per the input advices. As mentioned above, for reviewing its

methodology, we visited the subdivisions to assess the corrections in adjustments in revenue billed & energy sales

done by subdivisions. The correction factors were suitably applied for deriving the adjustments under revenue billed

and energy sales and subsequently overall consumer category wise revenue billed. Using the derived values, ABR has

been assessed and provided in the reports. During the assessment of entries under sundry reports, we observed certain

anomalies pertaining to misallocation of sundry entries under different consumer categories and adjustment codes. It

is pertinent to mention that such misallocations may not have impacted the overall ABR but would have impacted the

computation of consumer category wise ABRs. Meanwhile, on the basis of sample entries checked and analysed, we

have tried our best to correct and adjust such misallocations while computing the energy sales and revenues.

4. Assessment of Distribution Losses on basis of the above: Using the derived values for input energy and energy sales,

the distribution losses were assessed and have been provided in the reports.

5. Review of collection efficiency and outstanding dues for FY 2014-15: The information pertaining to revenue

realization and outstanding dues was collected from Discom. Collection efficiency in the reports has been shown along

with arrears as the Discom does not have a system to record age wise arrears. Further, to cross verify the realization

values, we enquired from the Utility regarding the remittance in bank of the revenue collection pertaining specifically

to the Nigam Dues as provided in the MIS. The Utility informed us that the component wise segregation of revenue

remitted to Bank is not available; the remittance in Bank is a collective figure which includes all the revenue

components including subsidy, adjustments, nigam dues and other dues including electricity duty, urban cess, etc.

They also informed us that such bifurcation is only possible at a circle level and is also not available at the city level.

Thus we have only vetted the revenue realization as per the information (provided to us by the Discom) available

pertaining to Bharatpur City.

As mentioned above, there have been several instances where we used suitable assumptions and appropriate sample sizes

for computing the deviation factors and correction factors for assessing values pertaining to input energy, energy sales and

revenue billed. Further, values pertaining to revenue realization and outstanding dues could not be validated as mentioned

above and were taken from Discom. In the entire exercise during our conduct of this assignment, we have taken all

reasonable steps to reach to an appropriate confidence level while presenting the conclusions.

Please feel free to get back to us in case of any clarification.

Yours Sincerely,

1. Background

1.1. Introduction

Bharatpur is the eastern gateway of Rajasthan connecting state to Uttar Pradesh, Haryana and National Capital

Region. In electrical terms, Bharatpur district is catered by Bharatpur Electrical Circle of electricity distribution

company, Jaipur Vidyut Vitran Nigam Limited (JVVNL). Bharatpur Electrical Circle is responsible for

distribution of electricity to approximately 67,940 consumers of Bharatpur.

Bharatpur Electricity Circle is further divided in to five electricity divisions. These divisions are further divided

into subdivisions to manage distribution and retail operations in the area. Presently there are 03 subdivisions in

Bharatpur City named as A1,A2,A3, thus this study includes assessment under all 03 nos. of subdivisions.

1.2. Objective of the Study

JVVNL intends to appoint distribution franchisee in Bharatpur City area which is majorly being catered by

the Electricity Division of Bharatpur under Bharatpur Electrical Circle. In view of this initiative, JVVNL intends

to conduct following activities:

For conducting the above mentioned activities, JVVNL awarded the study to PwC. For conducting this study, PwC conducted field visits across various substations and subdivisions in the Bharatpur city area.

2. Independent assessment of Input Energy

2.1. Approach followed for the independent assessment of Input Energy

The focus of this phase of the assignment was to conduct an independent assessment study for ascertaining the net energy input in Bharatpur city area in FY 14-15. It is pertinent to mention here that as per the consumer billing practices followed in Rajasthan, the energy injected in a month “X” is being billed in month “X+1”. Thus, it may be inferred that the energy billing/sales which has happened in the month of April 2014 is based on the energy injected in the month of March 2014.

Similarly, the energy billing/sales which have happened in the month of March 2015 is based on the energy injected in the month of February 2015. Therefore, to assess the distribution loss levels for FY 15, independent input energy assessment study is being done for a period of March 2014 to February 2015.

The approach followed for independent assessment of input energy is discussed as follows:

The key activities conducted in each of these steps are summarized as follows:

2.1.1. Step I: Project kick off and preliminary data collection

The project has been initiated on July 29, 2015 with a kick off meeting with JVVNL executives and its

consultant for appointment of distribution franchisee. The following aspects were discussed during the project

kick off meeting

· Broad level approach for independent assessment of the input energy

· Understanding of network configuration/topology in Bharatpur and collection of preliminary data collection. The following network attribute details have been collected

Final Report


PwC

- Details of 220/132/33/11 KV points(feeders) catering to Bharatpur city

- Details of EHV substations from which these points/feeders are originating

- Details of 33 KV and 11 KV cross over points exporting electricity outside Bharatpur city area

- Details of open access consumers existing in Bharatpur city and billing information of such consumers for FY 15

- Energy injected by JVVNL in Bharatpur as per their records

Based on the discussions and preliminary data provided, the team has initiated the assignment at Bharatpur. As

a first step, the preliminary information collected from head office has been validated from the field at

Bharatpur circle office. It has been observed that there were certain deviations in the preliminary information

provided and actual network infrastructure existing at Bharatpur. In such circumstances, the field level (circle

office) information of actual infrastructure has been considered for conducting the study.

2.1.2. Step II: Collection and compilation of feeder (input point) energy records as per field records

The specific approach and key activities carried out in this step are:

· Collection of energy injected data in the input points (feeders) from March 2014 to July 2015. This month wise energy injected information for all the input points has been collected from the log book/joint meter reading records of EHV substation;

· No log book specific record of boundary meter reading has been provided. Therefore, MRI reading of boundary meter has been taken to assess the energy exported. A ratio of energy injected in the network of Bharatpur city and energy sent out from the network has been calculated for the period for which MRI data was available. The total energy sent out for the previous months (for which MRI reading of boundary meter is not available) has been calculated assuming same ratio;

· The boundary points in Bharatpur are at HT level (11 KV level) and the quantum exported with respect to total energy injected was negligible (0.022%). Since it is difficult to segregate voltage level wise losses and also the energy loss for such a small quantum of export would be negligible. Therefore the energy sent out has been reduced from the total energy injected to assess the net energy input without accounting any losses.

2.1.3. Step III: Verification of energy records (log book) with meter records

Subsequently, MRI data has been collected for all the feeder meters to verify the log book records with meter

information. It is pertinent to mention here that

· Despite of repetitive efforts, MRI reading of all the meters could not happened due to software related issues. At Bharatpur, MRI readings of 11 outgoing feeder has been received out of 12 outgoing feeders. MRI reading of 132 KV Railway feeder has not been received.

· Also, the energy meters installed on input points (feeders) were capable of storing the data for a period of 75-100 days. Therefore, vetting of energy injected data could only be done for this time period.

Meanwhile, MRI reading of energy meters installed at cross over points has also been collected to ascertain the

energy exported from Bharatpur city.

2.1.4. Step IV: Treatment of variation (field records vis a vis meter records)

In this phase, log book records maintained at substation were compared with meter records as captured by MRI

based meter readings. A deviation factor has been calculated for input energy based on three months MRI data

for each feeder (input point) and as per the log book. In certain cases, wherein the MRI data has not been

arranged, calculation of deviation factor has not been carried out.

The following scenarios have been created to calculate the deviation factor for each feeder.

Scenario Log book data

MRI Data Energy injection through bus coupler*

Benchmark energy

Deviation factor (DF) calculation

A B C D E F

I √ √ √ E= C+D

DF = E-B/B II √ √ X E = C

III √ X √ E=B

IV √ X X E=B *It is pertinent to mention here that as per the practices being followed in O&M function, there are instances wherein the energy has been

supplied to a particular feeder through bus coupler for short period of time to conduct maintenance related activities. Such energy injected

has not been captured in the energy meter of the feeder, however, has been captured in the energy meter installed on the bus coupler and

was manually adjusted in the monthly log books.

It is pertinent to mention here that following exceptions are applicable for finalizing deviation factor to be

applied on feeder level energy injected in previous months to assess the input energy in FY15.

· Exception I: In case MRI based meter reading is not available, the energy injected information/data as per the log book has been considered;

· Exception II: In case the deviation between meter records (as per MRI readings) and log book records is less than 0.5%. The same has been ignored considering the time stamp variation between MRI reading and log book reading. Log book reading has been considered for assessment of energy injected;

· Exception III: In case the deviation between meter records (as per MRI readings) and log book records is more than 0.5%, the deviation factor considered or treatment of variation has been finalised based on case to case discussions with field incharge (Superintending Engineer, Bharatpur) and his team. The specific treatment agreed with the field incharge is mentioned in report while discussing such feeder level variation.

2.1.5. Step V: Assessment of input energy

The input energy has been assessed based on the log book data after applying suitable deviation factor as discussed in aforementioned section. The MRI data for the period under consideration (March 2014 to February 2015) was not available and therefore no MRI data has been considered. Further, a correction factor has been calculated for entire city/area based on incomer feeder and outgoing feeder energy records. The energy injected in each feeder (input point) is accordingly adjusted with deviation factor to assess the input energy during March 2014 to February 2015. The subsequent section details out the exercise carried out to assess the input energy of Bharatpur based on the approach discussed.

2.3.1. Deviation factor

As discussed in section 2.2.3, the feeder wiser energy input data as per logbook and as per MRI based reading is

observed to be within a variation range of 0 to 0.5%. Thus no deviation factor has been applied on energy input

data of any of the feeder/input point.

2.3.2. Multiplying factor adjustment

33 KV outgoing feeder BPCL, originating from 220 KV RICCO GSS, observed to have a skewed energy input

pattern. The monthly energy injected in the feeder for March 2014 to February 2015 varies from 0.00 LU to

2.48 LU. On detailed analysis, it has been observed that the multiplying factor for April 2014 to November 2014

has been considered as 1, however, it has been 1000 for rest of the months. The month wise energy record of the

feeder as per the log book is as follows:

Total 24.04

The total energy injected in 33 KV outgoing BPCL feeder has been considered as 24.04 LU as per the

aforementioned table.

2.3.3. Correction factor adjustment

It has been observed that there is a deviation/variation in energy recorded in incomer feeders (33 KV or 11 KV)

and outgoing feeders (33 KV or 11 KV) at same substation. On detailed analysis, it has been found that this

variation is on account of different accuracy class of protection equipments/meters installed.

The accuracy class of protection equipments/meters installed on incomer feeders is higher as compared to the

one installed on outgoing feeders. The same may be observed from the following data:

Total 4361.73 4267.26 94.47 2.17%

Since the assessment of input energy has been done on energy injected data of outgoing feeders, therefore an

overall correction factor of 2.17% has been applied on the calculated energy input as per the log book for

assessment of net energy injected in the Bharatpur city. The overall correction factor has been applied month

wise to have homogeneity across the months.

3. Independent review of methodology for Energy Sales and Revenue Billed

3.1. Approach followed for the independent review of revenue billed and energy sales

The focus of this phase of the assignment was to conduct an independent review of methodology for ascertaining the total energy sales and revenue billed for the Bharatpur city area in FY 14-15. The approach followed for conducting this phase of study is being descripted below:

3.1.1. Step I: Data Collection from various sources

We collected data from multiple sources under this assignment for reviewing the existing methodology and

performing various analysis. The various data sources are being mentioned below for reference:

3.1.2. Step II: Segregation and segmentation of the data

After collecting data from various sources (Discom and Circle level), our first task was data sanitation for

subsequent analysis of the same. After sanitation of the data collected, we performed data segregation and

segmentation. Information regarding Sales (normal and sundry segregated) and Revenue Billed (normal and

sundry segregated) were extracted from MIS 3.1 data sheet. From the same sheet, information regarding ED,

WCC, UC and DPS was also extracted. Data from Input Advices (Sundry files) was segregated under various

codes and further segmented under various consumer categories.

3.1.3. Step III: Conduct of field visits for subdivision audits for assessing corrections under input advices

The corrections have been assessed in input advices at subdivision. The objective under this part of study was to

assess the corrections in the input advices at 3 subdivisions under Bharatpur City area. The adjusted energy

sales and energy billed have been computed using input advices being sent to Billing agencies by subdivisions.

The input advices comprises of (i) sundry reports (CB-4, CB-12, CB-15) to accommodate energy sales & revenue

adjustments for some consumers on the account of multiple events including electricity theft, unauthorized

extension of load, events of meter running slow or fast, meter replacement etc. and (ii) MS-14 reports to

accommodate debits or credits to non-consumers (consumers not in billing records and temporary

connections).

RERC has notified certain norms with regards to assessment of energy in cases of energy sales and revenue

adjustments to be done under various cases. Further, the Discoms has also notified various circulars from time

to time to propagate the methods for making adjustments in energy and revenue billed under various

adjustment codes.

3.1.3.1. Assessment of corrections in energy sales and revenue billed

Subdivision audits have been conducted at the three urban sub divisions of Bharatpur City area for examining

the reports pertaining to input advices (MS-14, CB-4, CB-12, and CB-15) and verifying the same against the

inputs provided to the billing agencies by these select sub divisions. The subsequent sub-sections detail the

analysis performed for each subdivision.

3.1.3.1.1.1. Data collection from billing agency and subdivisions

MIS data sheets (3.1) pertaining to adjustments under energy sales and revenue for the period of April'14 to

March'15 had been taken from the Central Billing Agency at Jaipur. The data related to MS-14 was also taken

under a separate format. Complete sundry data in soft copies was also received for these subdivisions. Data for

the individual CB input advice (CB 4, CB 12 and CB 15) and MS-14 was also sought from the AROs of various

subdivisions visited, in cases where the data could not be received from the central billing agency. Data in hard

copy, wherever data was not available in soft copy, was also being collected.

3.1.3.1.1.2. Review of MIS data

The first level validation check, wherever MIS data was available, on data collected was performed by our teams

via verifying the total net adjustment (in units) derived from the CB input advice data base with the total net

adjustments reported in the MIS data received from the billing agency. The data received in both the sundry

advices and MIS reports has been almost equivalent at various subdivisions. Such validation of data was useful

in establishing that the CB input advice data base received from the sub division is comprehensive.

As a next step, our teams analyzed the CB input advice data base by filtering all the entries on the basis of

different adjustment codes. Adjustment codes or Transaction codes are defined in the RERC tariff code to guide

the Sub-divisional officials to report the sundry entries under various types of transactions.

Our teams identified that the following adjustment codes are majorly being used in the sundry reporting by the

subdivision officials.

In addition to the sundry reporting, we also analyzed the MS-14 reports. These are the input advices prepared

by SDOs to accommodate debits or credits accountable to non-consumers and temporary connections.

3.1.3.1.1.3. Broad Approach for assessment of corrections in energy sales & revenue billed

In order to arrive at adjusted energy sales under CB 4, 12, & 15, our teams analyzed and verified the correctness

of the computation of energy assessment and reporting of energy credit/debit under various adjustment codes.

The analysis was done in line with the provisions prescribed under RERC regulations, Terms and Conditions of

Supply-2004 (TCOS-2004), and other relevant orders/circulars issued by the Discoms. The broad approach

adopted for analysis is provided below:

Compute the overall correction factor for energy sales and revenue adjustment

Verify the computation of energy & revenue assessment under MS-14 reports also

Assess the correction factor separately for credit and debit entries

Verify the correctness in computation and reporting on sample entries

Select entries for understanding the computation of energy and revenue debit/credit

Sort both debit and credit entries on the basis of energy sales and amount

Under all respective codes, separate the debit entries from the credit ones

Filter all the entries and segregate them as per their respective adjustment code

Collect Sundry data from Billing Agency

Final Report


PwC 25

To check entries, our teams referred to the appropriate Consumer Charges and Allowances Register (CC&AR)

registers to verify the correctness of the computation. During the audit process, our teams understood the

background of the transactions based on the explanation provided by the Sub division officials. However, the

verification of the correctness of the computation and the subsequent reporting was done based upon

provisions prescribed under RERC regulations, TCOS-2004, and other relevant orders/ circulars issued by the

Discoms.

3.1.3.1.1.4. Broad analysis done under different Adjustment Codes

During the audits, our teams segregated all the entries as per their respective adjustment codes and analyzed

them adjustment code wise. During the audit, it was found that some sundry adjustments in an adjustment

code comprised of entries that should have been under different adjustment codes. These entries were treated

as per their respective adjustment code only. Specific issues identified under various subdivisions have been

discussed under subsequent sections:

· Adjustment Code 1 & 2: This code is meant to record entries related to theft detected by M&P Wing/

Vigilance Team/ Others. For analyzing the entries done under this code, we referred the VCRs and CC&AR

register to check the background of theft reports. We observed that at various subdivisions, for some of the

entries that we analyzed, the total amount received by any consumer against compounding the offence and

civil liability was also included in the Board Dues along with ED, WCC and UC. For such entries, we

segregated the compounding charges from the Board Dues. Under many entries, especially credit entries,

revenue adjustments were being accounted but units were not adjusted. For such entries, we referred VCR

files for assessing energy units. Wherever such information was not available, we deduced the energy units

from the revenue assessed via back calculation. Not much deviations/ irregularities were observed for theft

cases under MS-14 reports.

· Adjustment Code 3: Under this code, we found entries pertaining to cases under meter stopped, meter

defective etc. We analyzed sample entries under this code and referred the relevant orders (related to

application of average consumption) pertaining to such cases for assessing revenue and energy adjustments

under such cases.

· Adjustment Code 7: Under this code, entries pertaining to unauthorized extension of connected load are

meant to be recorded. Under this code, energy is not liable to be computed and debited; as such energy is

already recorded on the energy meter. During our audits, we checked for cases where energy was being

debited. Under such cases, we applied a correction factor of ‘0’ to remove such debits. Revenue adjustments

were being considered for computation.

· Adjustment Code 22: Under this code, entries pertaining to bank collection charges for dishonored

cheque are being recorded. We identified that under most entries, defined bank collection charges are being

debited to the consumers. Some entries pertaining to other codes were also found under this code; same

were segregated and treated under their respective codes. Under this code, energy is not liable to be

computed and debited. During our audits, we checked for cases where energy was being debited. Under

such cases, we applied a correction factor of ‘0’ to remove such debits.

· Adjustment Code 23: Under this code, entries pertaining to credit or debit on account of premises lock

cases are recorded. For these, a preliminary bill is generated if the meter reader is not able to take the

reading. The bill is corrected when the actual reading is available with the sub-division and respective credit

or debit is given to the consumer.

· Adjustment Code 28: Under this code, entries pertaining to cost of burnt/ defective meters are meant to

be recorded. As this code pertains to cost adjustments only, there should not be any recording of energy

units. During audits, we observed that for some cases, even units were debited in CB reports. The total cost

of replacing meters to a consumer divided by average tariff of that consumer category has been used to

derive energy units. For such cases, we applied a correction factor of ‘0’ to remove such debits.

· Adjustment Code 33: Under this code, entries related to wrong posting of consumers bills are meant to

be recorded. This code pertains to wrong posting, so ideally there should not be any recording of energy

units and revenue adjustments. Considering the same, we made required adjustments under the sundry

files.

· Adjustment Code 36: Under this code, the entries related to difference in fixed service charges are meant

to be recorded. During our audits, we found various types of credit/ debit entries under this code. The

entries related to billing of units, credit after settlement, wrong posting and wrong debit etc. are all

recorded under this code. For verification of such cases, we referred relevant CB reports and verified them

against the entries under CC&AR register. During our assessment of entries under this code, we observed

that in many instances of the credit entries, revenue was duly credited to the transactions, but energy sales

was not being credited. For such observed entries, we made adjustments for incorporating credit of energy

sales.

· Adjustment Code 51: Under this code, entries related to tariff subsidy provided are meant to be

recorded. This code pertains to entries related to provision of subsidy, so ideally there should not be any

recording of energy units. During audits, we checked for cases where units are being recorded under this

code. For such cases, we applied a correction factor of ‘0’ to remove such debits.

3.1.4. Step IV: Computation of Net Revenue Billed and Energy Sales

The various entries were segregated on the basis of adjustment code discussed above and further grouped on

the basis of credit and debit transactions. The sundry analysis done under various adjustment codes was

tabulated and the sum of corrected energy sales adjustment and revenue billed were compared with the energy

sales and revenue billed inputted through input advices sent to billing agencies. The respective correction

factors were determined by the variations observed between corrected energy sales & revenue adjustments,

deduced through our analysis, and adjusted energy sales & revenue inputted through input advice sent to the

billing agencies.

The corrections assessed in the adjusted component for revenue billed and energy sales in the input advices

were subsequently applied to the adjusted components for revenue billed and energy sales available under MIS

data sheets for 3.1 for assessing the category wise Net Revenue Billed and Energy Sales.

*The category wise revenue collection was not provided for the A-III subdivision; however its total was

provided. The total figure for collected revenue has been apportioned category wise considering the category

wise weightage observed in other subdivisions of Bharatpur.

Collection efficiency has been shown along with arrears as JVVNL does not have a system to record age wise

arrears. Further, to cross verify the realization as mentioned above, we enquired from the Utility regarding the

remittance in bank of the revenue collection pertaining specifically to the Nigam Dues as shown in the MIS. The

Utility informed that the component wise segregation of revenue remitted to Bank is not available at Sub-

division level; the remittance in Bank is a collective figure which includes all the revenue components including

subsidy, adjustments, Nigam dues and other dues including electricity duty, urban cess, etc. Thus we have only

vetted the revenue realization as per the information (as shown the table above) made available pertaining to

Bharatpur City.

4.1.4. Category wise Outstanding Arrears* (Rs. Cr.) upto March’14 and March’15 for Bharatpur City

On basis of the sundry revenue billed and collected as assessed above, the outstanding arrears for Bharatpur

City is as summarized as below. Please note that any adjustment in sundry revenues done above, have been duly

accounted for in the regular outstanding arrears as on Mar-15.
