The Hon‟bleCommission has also recognized the financial hardship in this regard and has included the concept ofcarrying cost in its <strong>UERC</strong> (Terms and Conditions <strong>for</strong> Truing Up of <strong>Tariff</strong>) Regulations, 2008, which statesthat-“The Commission may allow carrying cost of such variations which shall be limited <strong>to</strong> the interest rateapproved <strong>for</strong> working capital borrowings”In this regard, it is also noteworthy <strong>to</strong> mention the APTEL judgment in Appeal No. 117 of 2008 filed byReliance Infrastructure Ltd. Distribution Business- (RInfra-D) against the MERC‟s Order dated June 4,2008 on APR <strong>Petition</strong> <strong>for</strong> <strong>FY</strong> 2007-08.The relevant extract of the said Judgment regarding carrying cost is reproduced as under:“47. As the MERC Regulations deploy the Short Term Prime Lending Rate of State Bank of India <strong>for</strong>working out interest on Working Capital there is no reason why the same yardstick is not used when itcomes <strong>to</strong> applying interest rate on deferred payments. The licensee shall have <strong>to</strong> arrange the amount ofdeferred payment in the same way as the Working Capital. We, there<strong>for</strong>e, direct the Commission <strong>to</strong> allowShort Term Prime Lending Rate of SBI <strong>for</strong> deferred payments and incorporate the same while carryingout the truing up exercise <strong>for</strong> the year 2008-09.”Power Transmission Corporation of Uttarakhand Ltd.
