Electricity theft is the Short of User’s Consumption from the Power Supplied in the Distribution System. The current system has technical losses and Non-Technical losses in Electric types of equipment and Circuits. Using the data from the Power Corporation of Uttar Pradhesh (India’s Most Populous state), Electricity Theft is Gradually increasing in these 10 years(2000-2009). There are many possible ways in which people are exploiting electricity, Though the Government is using a different approach to eradicate electricity theft, common civilians coming up with a new strategy to steal. Those Information will be discussed in this paper, which we have gathered by Empathizing with People and Electricians. The Electric Board is facing different types of hardship due to the thefts. This Paper Discusses the types of thefts, Losses, and possible solutions to overcome the thefts with a Smart Metering Method.
