Why is it called "Electricity Bill counter"?

Excellent atmosphere...it was 14049 which was the 'electricity bill counter right'.

Having always sent my assistants to pay my electricity bills, and now paying them online, I fail to find the resemblance to an Electricity Bill Counter, either of 14046 or 14049.

@Dr Mulky - More than a bill counter (A device which counts bills/notes), I think the resemblance of 14049 in its old build (two flat windshield panes with one thin windshield strip in between the two) is being compared to a normal "payment center" which one may see at say a railway reservation / BSNL / water bill / electricity bill payment office. Here the typical look is a couple of transparent glass panels with grills over it and small "U" shaped cutouts at the bottom where money can be paid and the receipt/bill/ticket collected. The flat glass panels and the strip in between may have prompted someone in the past to liken 14049's looks to a "bill payment center" which over time transformed to a "electricity bill payment counter".

Thanks for the explanation Pawan. Having a closer look at 14049, I feel it resembles a wise owl with wide eyes set in a flat face.

Dr. Mulky, you may want to have a look at this image (ex WDM 2C 14049) http://www.irfca.org/gallery/ShowcaseArchives/ShowcaseArchives-2/venadwreblt2Cjjose.jpg.html. No doubt this remarkably reassembles to a bill counter.
