Actress Tanishaa Mukerji recently made headlines after making against Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Company Limited (MSEDCL) over the disconnection of power at her Lonavala property. MSEDCL has now alleged that the supply was cut after the outstanding bill remained unpaid despite repeated notices and requests for payment.
MSEDCL reveals why Tanishaa Mukerji’s power supply was cut
According to a Free Press Journal report, the electricity department stated that the electricity supply was disconnected on September 26. Later, it was restored on Wednesday, September 30, soon after Mukerji paid the outstanding Rs 3,000 through an online payment method.
MSEDCL reportedly said that the power cut was carried out as per the prescribed procedure for unpaid electricity bills, adding that the supply was restored after receiving the due payment. The update comes after Mukerji publicly spoke against the power cut at her ancestral property in Lonavala.
According to MSEDCL, the three-phase electricity connection at the Lonavala property is registered in Mukerji’s name. The actress had reportedly paid the electricity bill for July 2026 on August 5, 2026. The bills for the months of August and September were generated subsequently.
The due date for the payment of the August bill was September 4; however, it remained unpaid. MSEDCL stated that an SMS regarding the outstanding amount was sent to Mukerji’s registered mobile number. Even after the notice period ended on September 19, the outstanding amount was still not paid.
MSEDCL reportedly revealed that its local employees also repeatedly contacted the farmhouse manager, asking him to arrange payment of the bill. Since the payment remained pending, the electricity supply was consequently disconnected on September 26.
Tanishaa Mukerji’s power supply restored
Today, on Wednesday afternoon, September 30, paid the outstanding amount of Rs 3,000 online. MSEDCL reportedly said the electricity supply was restored immediately after the payment was received from Tanishaa. The procedure allegedly requires electricity connections to be disconnected when dues remain unpaid following the prescribed notices and payment period.
The MSEDCL also reportedly revealed that the electricity meter is located around 300 feet from the entrance of the property. Additionally, security personnel are stationed at the entrance while MSEDCL employees require permission from the caretaker to enter the premises for meter reading.
