Before we get into the thick of the things we would like to add a few heartfelt words
for the people who were part of this project in numerous ways. People who gave
unending support right from the stage the project idea were conceived.

We would like to express my sincere gratitude to our supervisor Er. Hemant Goit
for providing their guidance , suggestion and comments throughout the course of the
project. I would specially thank Er. Hemant Goit for constantly motivating me to
work harder.

At last but not the least, we would like to express our cordial gratitude to all our
friends , well-wisher for their supports , suggestion and co-operation as well as all
those persons who had helped directly or indirectly to complete this project.

Thanks
 Abstract

The system “Electricity Billing System” is based on computerization system which

ease the billing system of the Electricity billing authority. To developing this project
Front-end tool as Turbo C++ compiler and Back-end tool as the coding in “C
programming language”. This software provide every customer as their id number
which help to manage their information. It will store all the information of the
customer such as customer id number , customer name, customer address, previous
month reading unit and amount to be paid or excess amount in previous month. It will
calculate the amount as per the rule of NEA (Nepal Electricity Authority). It will
calculate amount just providing current month unit. It will also accept less or excess
amount than payable amount . And this excess or less amount will be store and added
in next month bill. It has feather such as add record, list record, payment, search,
Modify, and display rates.

 Introduction

1.1 Project Description

Our project “Electricity Billing System” aims to display consumed units and
payable amounts. The aim of our project is to develop a system that computerized the
paper work performed in the electricity authority office.

It will calculate the monthly electricity bills and support payment. It stores consumed
unit(reading) of energy and also stores unpaid or excess amount. It also stores
customers personal information such as customer id number, name and their address.

It supports features such as list all records, search customer details, modifying
customer details, and display rate of units

1
1.2 Objective

 Add and maintain records of energy used by customers.

 Provides a convenient solution of billing pattern.
 Add and maintain customers details.
 Provide description of rates of units.

1.3Features

 Adding new records

 Modifying
 Searching
 Manage the customer details
 Integration of customer records
 User authentication
 Display rate of units

2
 1.4 Technology Used

The tools that are used to develop the “Electricity Billing System” are include as:

a. C programming language
b. Turbo C++ (compiling)

C programming language

C is a procedural programming language. It was initially developed by Dennis

Ritchie between 1969 and 1973. It was mainly developed as a system programming
language to write operating system. The main features of C language include low-
level access to memory, simple set of keywords, and clean style, these features make
C language suitable for system programming like operating system or compiler
development. Many later languages have borrowed syntax/features directly or
indirectly from C language. Like syntax of Java, PHP, JavaScript and many other
languages is mainly based on C language. C++ is nearly a superset of C language
(There are few programs that may compile in C, but not in C++).

 Algorithm
Step 1: Start
Step 2:Login account only for authentication
Step 3:Select option from given menu(Switch case statement)
Code=selected option
Step 4:if code=A, add record and goto step 3.
Step 5:Else if code=M, Modify record and go to step 3.
Step 6:Else if code=L, list record and go to step 3.
Step 7:Else if code=P, payment and go to step 3.
Step 8:Else if code=S, searching and go to step 3
Step 9:Else if code=D, display rates, and go to step 3.
Step 10:Else if code=E, go to step12
Step 11:Else , show ”Input incorrect”

 Amount Calculation

Example: 63 units

0-20 units : 20 * 3.00

= Rs 60

21-30 units : 10 * 7.00

= Rs 70

31-50 units: 20 * 8.50

= 170

51-63 units: 13 * 10.00

=130

Total Amount : 60 + 70 + 170 + 130

= Rs 430

 Limitation

 It does not store date of payment so can not add fine or interest features

It does not store every financial transaction

 Conclusion

In conclusion , this project is aim to develop a project entitled “Electricity billing

system” that maintain data such as adding record, searching customer detail,
calculation and payment, modification etc.

At last we would like to thankful the Er. Hemant Goit and we are also thanks to all
person involved in directly or indirectly helping to develop the project.
