 Abstract
Science and technology with all its fascinating advancements has been
taking human life standards to the next level. The whole world will be
literally jammed without these innovations. The Electricity Bill
Management system is developed to override the problem that are
include to pay electricity bill in practical manual system and manage
electricity bill system. This program helps to eliminate the hassle faced
by existing manual system. Besides this this program is designed to
particular need of a company to perform the official operation in a
smooth and effective way. The program is optimized as much as
possible to avoid error while entering data. It provides success message
while entering valid data and error message for entering invalid data.
The users don’t need to know formal knowledge to use this program. As
described this program perform operation user friendly. It can lead to an
error free, secure and reliable electricity bill management. It can help an
organization by better utilization of resource.
In our country every organization that may be big small has challenges
to overcome the problem to pay electricity bill. Every electricity bill
management System has different needs. Therefor we design the user
management system. This is design to manage specific user information
like user profile, meter reading, unit bill and user payment information.
In this program user also can change and update their information as
they need.
 Introduction
This project Electricity Bill Management System makes the way
of paying electricity bill simple compared to other existing
projects. This system is made to keep the records and manage
their information about the bills of the customers. In this
program the administrator can manage all the accounts; the
registered users like individual customers, can only manage their
own accounts and user also can cannot any details of their detail
information along with change and update their information.
This program is developed using HTML, CSS, JavaScript in
front end, php as server-side language and MySQL as database.
Our project entitled “Electricity Bill Management System” aims is to
generate electricity bill with all the charges and penalty. This
program has to interface. One is administrator and another is user.
The user interface includes user bill with particular range of usage
unit and charges that have to pay after certain time if a user takes to
pay his bill. User can pay their electric bill using mobile banking
system. After pay the electricity this program generates bill voucher
and send the confirmation mail to dedicated user. The bill records of
a user stored in user bill list and user can see in their profile. The
administrator mange the all information that are related with user
like user login approval, set meter reading, set unit price, set late fee
and set the user bill.
System Study:
Scope:
This project aims at business process automation and we have tried to
digitalized various process of electricity billing system. In the sector of
Electricity board, we have attached user management, unit price, meter
reading and payment info to maintain the regular update of electricity
board. For customer those who use this program we attached mobile
banking payment system so that they can pay their electricity bill from
anywhere. Besides this we add bill list option so that they can see their
bill record like paid and unpaid bill. We also add user profile update for
user regular information update.
Scop of any program depends upon the following things:
1.It satisfy the user requirement
2.Be easy to understand for the user and operator
3.Be easy to operate
4.Have a good user and operator interface
5.Be Expandable
We have tried to make such type of program which satisfy the above
requirements.
Objectives:
This project consists of several objectives as stated below:
1. To develop an online system to manage electrical billing for the
administrator and customer.
2. To collect the power consumption information and integrate with
centralized database system.
3. To calculate the electrical bill and pay the bill from anywhere
4. Store the user billing information.

Software Requirement Specification

Software used: XAMPP
Editor: Sublime text, Bracket
Client-Side Technologies: HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Bootstrap
Server-Side Technologies: PHP
Database Sever: MYSQL
Operating System: Windows, Linux
Module Description:
1.Registration: This Field used to register a new user. It contains various
field, User name, Mobile number, E-mail, NID number and password. A
user can register himself and also an administrator can add user from
user management. If any field is left empty, a pop-up will be displayed
after submission. After the successful submission of the details, a
message named “Successfully registered” will be displayed. After
submitting the above information successfully, a user needs to wait for
administrator login approval. When an administrator approves a user

After completing a success login a home page will show depend on the user
type.

Fig: Login Form

Administrator Interface:
After the administrator has logged in, admin screen will be displayed.
This screen contains four types of page. These are:
1.User management
2.Unit Price
3.Meter Reading
4.and payment info.
Each of the page performed different function that is centrally control by
administrator.
 1. User Management: User management design to manage user
personal information, like user name, user roll, user email, user
meter no, NID no ,password and account status. User roll and
account status is confirmed by administrator. Administrator also
can put the meter no an user .An administrator can modify or
delete an account and can also create a new user from this page.

Unit Price:
Unit price module use to set the unit price for specific range. The administrator can set unit price
for a specific range of usage. An administrator can add various range of usage unit and set the
unit price for specific rang. Unit price rate can be changed or modify by the administrator.
 Fig: Unit Price Module

Meter Reading:
Meter reading page contain user meter no ,previous reading, current
reading ,late fee, total amount of bill, usage unit and payment status
Meter Reading function used to put the value users current meter reading
and calculate the usage unit. The program automatically calculates the
usage the unit of customer depend on customer meter no. Usage unit
calculate form subtracting previous reading from current reading. This
function calculate the user bill amount depend on the usage unit and
price rate of the usage unit that was set in usage unit module. After
complete customer bill pay for a meter the payment status will show
paid. An administrator submit the value of user meter reading ,last pay
date and late fee only. The program calculates another option by own
self. Administrator can modify, change or delete a specific entry for an
administrator.

Payment Information: Payment information page design to hold

customer payment info that is identify by customer meter no. This page
contains payment id, User id, meter no, paid amount, paid date,
transaction id, payment mode, account no, pin. This page collects
information from customer payment process. The administrator cannot
change this information from this page. So, there is no chance to remove
user payment info. And also, there is no chance to add payment info
from this program without complete a success payment process.

User Interface:
After completing a success registration, the customer need for wait for
administrator login approval. When an administrator approves an
account then a user can login. After login a home page will show for the
