hey sorry tat is wrong wat i mentioned.. actual calculation is Return on equity is calculated by below formula i.e, Base rate/ 1-t therefore Base rate specified by electricity co is 15.5% and t is tax rate 30% + 10% surcharge i.e, 33% on this add 3% cess which sumsup to 33.99% now (15.5/1-0.3399)=23.481%
