Entering Meter Details and Accessing Recharge Options
After launching the app, navigate to the 'Smart Meter Service' section. You will need your Consumer Account Number (CA number) and meter number, which is usually found on your electricity bill. Enter these details and click 'Get Customer Details' to access your meter information and account balance.
The app will display your meter's current status, showing any outstanding dues or credits. You'll then see the option to proceed with a smart recharge. Ensure all your details are correct before proceeding further.
