Abstract: Electricity theft is a major concern for the utilities. With the advent of smart meters, the frequency of collecting household energy consumption data has increased, making it possible for advanced data analysis, which was not possible earlier. In developing countries like India, power theft is one of the most prevalent issues which not only cause economic losses but also an irregular supply of electricity. It hampers the functioning of industries and factories, due to a shortage of power supplied to them. It causes a shortage of power supply to homes. It leads to loss of revenue by Government as individual enterprises may opt to install their own power generators, increases corruption in form of bribes and many more. Ultimately it is the country’s economy which suffers along with the country’s political reputation. We introduced here a GSM technique which gives proper power consumption message at the end of the month.
