Abstract: Billing is critical function of the electricity board towards getting meter reading. Meter reading, even though it looks simple, is far from simple and involves processes that can give various problems, most problems currently seen, result from the manual processes followed. Calculation errors, delays in system updating an fault tracking issues are the major problems that companies find difficult to find answer for this paper suggests a smart electricity billing system to collect process and notify consumers about consumption. This system will be reliable, efficient and accurate to suit the requirements of these companies. The burden on the meter reader is lessened and other new features have been introduced. Customer interaction with the system is improved and customers can easily view their current electricity bill using their respective account. Most of the problems related to electricity billing are addressed through this system and might prove to be best solutions for specific companies to optimize services on low budget.
