INTRODUCTION OF THE PROJECT
The “Electricity Billing System” has been developed to override the problems prevailing in
the practicing manual system. This software is supported to eliminate and in some cases
reduce the hardships faced by this existing system. Moreover, this system is designed for
the particular need of the company to carry out operations in a smooth and effective
manner.

The application is reduced as much as possible to avoid errors while entering the data. It
also provides error messages while entering invalid data. No formal knowledge is needed for
the user to use this system. Thus, by this all proves it is user-friendly. Electricity Billing
System, as described above, can lead to error free, secure, reliable and fast management
system. It can assist the user to concentrate on their other activities rather to concentrate
on the record keeping. Thus, it will help organization in better utilization of resources.

The manual preparation of Electricity Billing System has some flaws, for example, it is time
taking, stress full, error prone and require a lot of writing work.

Every organization, whether big or small, has challenges to overcome and managing the
information of unit of Energy, Electricity, Store Record, Connections and Electricity Board.
Every Electricity Billing System has different Electricity needs; therefore we design exclusive
employee management systems that are adapted to your managerial requirements. This is
designed to assist in strategic planning, and it will help you ensure that your organization is
equipped with the right level of information and details for your future goals. These systems
will ultimately allow you to better manage resources .

ABSTRACT OF THE PROJECT

The purpose of Electricity Billing System is to automate the existing manual system by the
help of computerized equipment and full-fledged computer software, fulfilling their
requirements, so that their valuable data/information can be stored for a longer period with
easy accessing and manipulation of the same. The organization can maintain computerized
records without redundant entries. This means that one need not be distracted by
information that is not relevant, while being able to reach the information. Basically, the
project describes how to manage for good performance and better service for the clients .
OBJECTIVE OF THE PROJECT
The main objective of the project on Electricity Billing System is to manage the details of
Electricity, Unit of Energy, Bill, Store Records and Electricity Board. The project is totally built
at administrative end and thus only the administrator is guaranteed the access. The purpose
of the project is to build an application program to reduce the manual work for managing
the Connections, Bills and so on. It tracks all the details about Unit of Energy and Bills.

FUNCTIONALITIES PROVIDED BY ELECTRICITY BILLING SYSTEM

 Provides the searching facilities based on various factors.
 It tracks all the data of Unit of Energy, Connections, Store Record, etc.
 Shows the information and description of the Electricity bill.
 It deals with monitoring the information and transactions of store records.
 Editing, adding, and updating of records is improved which results in proper resource
management of Electricity data.
 Integration of all records of electricity board.

FEATURES OF THE PROJECT

 Easy and fast retrieval of information.
 Product and component based.
 Well-designed reports.
 Reporting and charting in more comprehensive way.
 Access of any information individually.
 User accounts to control the access and maintain security.

INPUT
The program will take the following inputs from the USER:-

For Customers:

 Consumer Number.
 Consumer Name.
 Mobile Number.
 Other details (Address, City, Pin code).
 Current Reading.
 Previous Reading.
 Reading Date.
 Billing ID.
For Employees:

 Units of Energy consumed.

 Gross amount.
 Net Amount.

OUTPUT
A fully designed ELECTRICITY BILLING SYSTEM. It generates the report on Electricity, Unit of
Energy and Connections. Provide filter reports on Bill, Store Records and Electricity Board.
We have successfully created:

 A system that can save your time.

 A system that is error free as well as reduces your stress and workload.
 A system that requires no calculation.
 A system that requires no handwork.
 A system that allows multiple users to work together at a time

SCOPE OF THE PROJECT

It may help collecting perfect management in details. In a very short time, the collection will
be obvious, simple and sensible. It will help a person to know the management of passed
year perfectly and vividly. It also helps in current all works relative to Electricity Billing
System. It will also reduce the cost of collecting the management and collection procedure
will go on smoothly.

Our project aims at Business process automation, i.e. we have tried to computerize various
processes of Electricity Billing System.

 In computer system, the person has to input various details and several
details/information can be easily generated at a time.
 To assist the staff in capturing the effort spent on their respective working areas.
 It satisfies the user environment.
 The system generates type of information that can be used for various purposes.
 This is a command-based Python interface. It can be developed in either GUI
(Graphical User Interface) or Web interface.
 To utilize resources in an efficient manner by increasing their productivity through
automation.
PREREQUISITES BEFORE INSTALLING MYSQL
 You need root or administrator privileges to perform the installation process.
Python must be installed on your machine.
 MySQL connector Python requires python to be in the system’s path.
Installation fails if it doesn’t find Python.
 On Windows, if Python doesn’t exist in the system’s path, manually add the
directory containing Python.exe yourself.
