I have purchased a flat on Sarjapur Road on 2nd sale basis. For transfering the Electricity Meter in my name, I got the reference of Mr. T.D.Hemachandra, aretd. oficer from Bescom, whom I found very helpful. He facilitated me submitting all the relevant Documents to Bescom and with 3 weeks time, the Office Memorandum was signed approving the name change. I thank Mr. T.D. Hemachandra for his expeditious completion of the job.

Hi all, I availed services of Mr. T. D. Hemachanda, retired BESCOM Exec. Engr. for getting my BESCOM connection transfer done from builders name to mine. He provided excellent and efficient end to end service from advise on docuemnts required to handing over of transfer documents, for minimal charges. He made prompt follow ups and because of this I did not have to run from pillar to post to get my work done. If you deal with him you have an opportunity of dealing with a thorough professional and can avoid the ordeal of dealing with inept/not-so-literate BESCOM personal. He can be reached not only for BESCOM meter transfer but also for consultancy required for any kind of BESCOM related grievences.
Hi,
I recently bought a flat which was constructed in 2002. The name on the meter is still that of the builder, and i am the 4th owner.
Builder –> 1st party (outside the country) –> 2nd party (outside bangalore) –> 3rd party (in town) –> Me.
In this do i need to get a NOC from all the parties involved or just 3rd party (immediate seller from whom i purchased) and/or the builder (since the bescom bill is still in the builder’s name).
Any advice is highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Hi Raman

Dear T.D.Hemachandra,
I have purchased a flat 1100 sq ft in jalahalli east.Cost of flat is 2520000/-
The agreement said that cost of flat includes car park and KPTCL/BWSSB.
But now the builder has told me to give additional rs. 25000 for khata transfer, 2500/- for electric meter transfer.
Kindly please let me know what I should do?
KPTCL/BWSSB mentioned should cover these costs?
Also charges for khata and electric meter transfer quoted are quite high.
Please help at earliest.

So, I want to know, what is your fee for this service?
If you don’t service this area, can you please suggest me a person/agency who will do this?

Hi Mahesh,
As per my knowledge, Khata Trasfer is not so expensive deal and if the builder asking for Rs 25000 for the same, you can co-ordinate with other apartment owners and can be done in a group. As you said if your agreement mentioned cost of flat includes car park and KPTCL/BWSSB, then you can seek your legal expert help for dealing with builder who charging unfair or extra cost on your property.
Thank you.
Dear Rakesh,

Hi,
I had purchased a under construction flat near cisco outer ring road, Now I had occupied it, Recent on Jan 1st 2012 We got the new meter connection done for our apartment. Now when should I initiate the meter transfer from builder’s name to my name. Should i wait till first month bill gets generated or can do the transfer even before that. I am waiting for an address proof for my own flat. I am thinking that electricity bill would be best one for such documents. Khata transfer is not yet done and i heard from the above conversation that it is not mandatory for meter transfer. Suggest me the process so I can get in touch with you.
Thanks
Aditya
Hi Aditya
I wish to state that you must get the first bill genarated to initiate the processing , You must enclose the xerox copy of the bill along with the application. You can use Electricity bill for address proof. Khatha is not mandatory If it is there it is a sapporting document
How ever tou have got to produce Notorised copy of the sale deed or else a letter from yhe Bank to establish that you have pledged the origanals in the bank you have taken loan from and Bank letter must invariably contain the the sale deed registration noan date. Further You need to produce N.O..C from the builder/owner. you are at leberty to get in touch with me any time between 10.am and 6 pm

Thanks , I have recently been searching for information approximately this topic for a long time and yours is the best I have discovered so far. But, what concerning the conclusion? Are you certain in regards to the source? What i don’t understood is if truth be told how you are now not really a lot more neatly-liked than you might be right now. You’re so intelligent.
On a fellow resident’s recommendation, my husband contacted Mr.Hemachandra for the BESCOM bill name transfer. He was very organized and followed up promptly when additional documents were needed. Also when the process was complete, he delivered the documents. There was an issue with the name change and the address was not correctly changed. He followed it up again, and got it corrected within a short time.
I would recommend Mr.Hemachandra to anyone for any assitance in any BESCOM related issues.
Hi,
Mr.Hemachandra do you get power sanction for commercial Buildings too.
I have a under construction building for which i have to get power sanction it has basement,Ground +3 floors(12500 SQ FT) i was looking at 80-90 kW LT connection
if in future i require additional power do i have to surrender my transformer to BESCOM(does it become bescoms property)
and again install a new transformer for HT.
Regards
Ahmed
Hi Ahmed
I Will arrange to get you power supply to your premises.
Since yours is a commercial complex, I advice you to take Power supply on H.T basis only which will be benificial to you and you get the voltage rebate.
If you take L.T. you have to get the The Transformer errected on self execution basis and it will be your property for one year and later it will automaticaly becomes the property of the bescom.I will be able throw much infermation If you could come to my E-mail. I will compartive statement and merrits and demerrits of H.T/L.T power suply and cost comparision

Hi,
I want to get the electricty meter for my flat transfer in my name.
The current bill is in the name of one of the builder and its been 7yrs now, we dont knw where he is. My question is from whom should I get the NOC? without NOC, cant the name be transfered?
Thanks,
Hi Giri
I wish to state here that If any person is unable to procure the N.O.C . There is an option available as per the standing rules That is you have got to pay additional MMD/MSD charges which is directly propotional to the connected load/ Sanctioned load/ or the consumption Energy charges which ever is higher for which you will get the official Recipt and please note that it is not the hidden charges. This point has allready been made in my earlier comments. For more infermation contact me on my cell
