Previously the readings were recorded manually but now automatic meter readers have been installed.

This is the second type of billing method which is used when actual meter reading could not be recorded due to certain factors.
These factors can be:
- Index glass dirty/Misty.
- The water inside the meter.
- Meter covered with dust.

- Meter under rainwater.
- Meter installed above normal height.
- Meter position not approachable.

Sticky / Stopped Meter Bill is issued if the meter is sticky / stops (out of order) and is unable to record the gas passing through it.
The bill is based on seasonal average consumption in case of domestic category whereas in case of Industrial and Commercial category, it is based on the previous two month’s or following two month’s average consumption whichever is higher as per Gas Sales Agreement.
