Normally utility bills are received in the last week of every month – 22nd onwards. The problem is that each bill’s due date is different, especially of gas, which normally falls on the first or second day of each month. This is very inconvenient because one has to draw salary/pension which takes about two to three days.
Why can these companies not coordinate and fix any date after the 5th of each month? That would make life easier for people to pay utility bills by the due date and save them from unnecessary tension of paying surcharge. It is only a matter of coordination.
