Why should I transfer the electricity connection to my name?
After buying a property, the electricity bill in your name is one of the strongest day-to-day proofs of possession, and it is often asked for in Khata, loan and address-proof work. It also avoids problems if the old owner is unreachable later.
What documents are needed?
The latest electricity bill with the RR number, the registered sale deed, and the new owner's ID proof. Depending on the sub-division, a small transfer form and fee apply.
The connection is in a deceased family member's name. Can it be transferred?
Yes. Along with the usual papers, the death certificate and legal heir documents are needed. We guide you on exactly which papers apply to your family's situation.
How long does the transfer take?
Once the application is submitted at the BESCOM sub-division with complete papers, the name change usually reflects within a couple of weeks. We submit and follow up for you.
What does it cost?
BESCOM's transfer fee is modest and set by them. Our service charge for preparing, submitting and following up is confirmed after the free review.
