#BESCOM seems to have *finally* fixed this problem. There's a new #SSL certificate for the web-site that's valid from 14-Nov-2023.

Both #Firefox and #Safari now display it properly. 🎉

This blog-post explains the underlying reason why #Chrome does not work the way #Firefox and #Safari do for #SSL certificate-revocation:

ImperialViolet - Revocation still doesn't work

For *months* www.bescom.co.in has been serving an SSL certificate that has been revoked (see https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/analyze.html?d=www.bescom.co.in) and both #Firefox and #Safari prevent it from loading, but somehow #Chrome still allows it. 😱

Many residents in my apartment complex are complaining about huge surge in April #BESCOM bill, its almost 50% increase.

Was there a price hike starting from 1st April 2021? Or any other reason?

If i'm not wrong even last year during Lockdown there was something like this.

Looks like #bescom online bill payment has been down for a while now.
