Interest on Security Deposit Paid
Commencing January 1, 2017, the annual cash deposit rebates for all TNB's customers will be implemented by cumulating the amount of the deposit rebates (2.5% per annum of the cash deposit amount).
This year's implementation practice is different compared to the previous years, which will see the rebate amount credited into the users' existing security deposit in the month of January every year.
For Example:
Total Cash Security Deposit as of 31 December 2016: RM1, 000
Annual Rebates Received: RM1,000 X 2.5% = RM25.00
New Total Security Deposit as at 1st January 2017 :RM1,000 + RM25.00 = RM1,025
