Such consumers who have been allowed to use load during peak load hours up to 30.4.09 and do not wish to avail the same after 30.4.09 shall have to get the same cancelled from the office who had granted them the peak load exemption, otherwise their permission shall be deemed to have extended up to 31.5.09.
