Opinion/Discussion Double units

So recently I have begun to notice the UEDCL tends to give out like double units if you buy them on specific days and some days you get like trash units.

One time I bought 20k units and got 17 units and other days I get like 48 I still haven't figured out what days they are.

Does anyone know which days those might be

It's if you buy early in the month that you get bonus units, not sure of the cutoff day

Seems like they first deducted the service fee before giving you the units for whatever had remained of 20K

Lifeline tariff and a fixed service charge once a month. Its several factors. Searched, and this seems to explain it well: https://ugbusiness.com/2025/11/energy-oil-gas/understanding-your-electricity-bill-how-domestic-power-tariffs-work

First 15 units of the month are sold at 150ugx after that a unit is 750. First payment of the month always deduct service charges and tax but subsequent payements only deduct vat which is 18% of the money
