 ABSTRACT

Science and technology with all its fascinating advancements has been
taking human life standards to the next level. The whole world will be
literally jammed without these innovations. The Electricity Bill
Management system is developed to override the problem that are
include to pay electricity bill in practical manual system and manage
electricity bill system. This program helps to eliminate the hassle faced
by existing manual system. Besides this this program is designed to
particular need of a company to perform the official operation in a
smooth and effective way. The program is optimized as much as
possible to avoid error while entering data. It provides success message
while entering valid data and error message for entering invalid data.
The users don’t need to know formal knowledge to use this program. As
described this program perform operation user friendly. It can lead to an
error free, secure and reliable electricity bill management. It can help an
organization by better utilization of resource.
In our country every organization that may be big small has challenges
to overcome the problem to pay electricity bill. Every electricity bill
management System has different needs. Therefor we design the user
management system. This is design to manage specific user information
like user profile, meter reading, unit bill and user payment information.
In this program user also can change and update their information as
they need.
 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

We would like to pay our gratitude to the Almighty Allah who created us with not
only the ability to design and program this system but also the power of practice.

We would also like to express our sincere thanks to our respected supervisor Md.
Shafiur Rahman, Lecturer Department of CSE, Dhaka International University
for his continuous encouragement, motivation and professional guidance during
the work of this project.

We would like to thank all the faculty members for their valuable time spent on
requirements analysis and evaluation of the project work.

We would like to express our sincere and cordial gratitude to the people those who
have supported us directly, provided mental encouragement. We are also thankful
to our family and friends who have contributed directly or indirectly the
development word and its associated activities.

We warmly thank Prof. Dr. A. T. M. Mahbubur Rahman, Chairman,

Department of Computer Science and Engineering and Dean (Acting), Faculty of
Science and Engineering and Associate Prof. Md. Abdul Based, Chairman,
Electrical, Electronics & Telecommunication Engineering, Dhaka International
University for their valuable advice and moral support. Their extensive discussion
around work and interesting exploration in operations has been very helpful for
this study.

Finally, we would like to dedicate this project to our teachers for their love,
encouragement and professional guidance throughout the project.

1 INTRODUCTION

This project Electricity Bill Management System makes the way of paying electricity bill simple
compared to other existing projects. This system is made to keep the records and manage their
information about the bills of the customers. In this program the administrator can manage all the
accounts; the registered users like individual customers, can only manage their own accounts and
user also can cannot any details of their detail information along with change and update their
information. This program is developed using HTML, CSS, JavaScript in front end, php as
server-side language and MySQL as database.
Our project entitled “Electricity Bill Management System” aims is to generate electricity
bill with all the charges and penalty. This program has to interface. One is administrator
and another is user. The user interface includes user bill with particular range of usage
unit and charges that have to pay after certain time if a user takes to pay his bill. User can
pay their electric bill using mobile banking system. After pay the electricity this program
generates bill voucher and send the confirmation mail to dedicated user. The bill records
of a user stored in user bill list and user can see in their profile. The administrator mange
the all information that are related with user like user login approval, set meter reading,
set unit price, set late fee and set the user bill.

Chapter
2 SYSTEM STUDY

2.1 SCOPE:
This project aims at business process automation and we have tried to digitalized various process
of electricity billing system. In the sector of Electricity board, we have attached user
management, unit price, meter reading and payment info to maintain the regular update of
electricity board. For customer those who use this program we attached mobile banking payment
system so that they can pay their electricity bill from anywhere. Besides this we add bill list
option so that they can see their bill record like paid and unpaid bill. We also add user profile
update for user regular information update.
Scop of any program depends upon the following things:
1.It satisfy the user requirement
2.Be easy to understand for the user and operator
3.Be easy to operate
4.Have a good user and operator interface
5.Be Expandable
We have tried to make such type of program which satisfy the above requirements.
2.2 OBJECTIVES:
This project consists of several objectives as stated below:
1. To develop an online system to manage electrical billing for the administrator and customer.
2. To collect the power consumption information and integrate with centralized database
system.
3. To calculate the electrical bill and pay the bill from anywhere
4. Store the user billing information.

2.3 SOFTWARE REQUIREMENT SPECFICATION

Software used: XAMPP
Editor: Sublime text, Bracket
Client-Side Technologies: HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Bootstrap
Server-Side Technologies: PHP
Database Sever: MYSQL
Operating System: Windows, Linux

3 MODULE DESCIPTION

3.1 REGISTRATION
This Field used to register a new user. It contains various field like User name, Mobile number,
E-mail, NID number and password. A user can register himself and also an administrator can add
user from user management. If any field is left empty, a pop-up will be displayed after
submission. After the successful submission of the details, a message named “Successfully
registered” will be displayed. After submitting the above information successfully, a user needs
to wait for administrator login approval. When an administrator approves a user then a user can
login.

3.3.3 METER READING

Meter reading page contain user meter no, previous reading, current reading, late fee, total
amount of bill, usage unit and payment status
Meter Reading function used to put the value users current meter reading and calculate the usage
unit. The program automatically calculates the usage the unit of customer depend on customer
meter no. Usage unit calculate form subtracting previous reading from current reading. This
function calculates the user bill amount depend on the usage unit and price rate of the usage unit
that was set in usage unit module. After complete customer bill pay for a meter the payment
status will show paid. An administrator submits the value of user meter reading, last pay date and
late fee only. The program calculates another option by own self. Administrator can modify,

3.3.4 PAYMENT INFORMATION

Payment information page design to hold customer payment info that is identify by customer
meter no. This page contains payment id, User id, meter no, paid amount, paid date, transaction
id, payment mode, account no, pin. This page collects information from customer payment
process. The administrator cannot change this information from this page. So, there is no chance
to remove user payment info. And also, there is no chance to add payment info from this
program without complete a success payment process.

4 CONCLUSION

Electricity Bill Management System using PHP and MySQL has been developed with the help of
Sublime Text and Bracket editor effectively. It is simple and user friendly. Since this system is
implemented in PHP and Mysql, it is platform independent. It has wide scope for future
expansion. The accuracy and reliability are surely increased. It makes sure that unauthorized
personal cannot execute this program. This system provides secured processing without any
threats.

5 FUTURE WORK
Many different adaptations, tests, and experiments have been left for the future due to lack of
time (i.e. adding payment gate way for card payment ,add accounts module to calculate the
monthly earn revenue, total paid bill and unpaid bill ). Future work concerns deeper analysis of
particular mechanisms, new proposals to try different methods, or simply curiosity.
