Sir,
I have observed all the procedures and also obtained an Order from AEE Elect, S2 Sub-Divsn, Bescom that the METER HAS BEEN transferred in my name.
As the BILL CONTINUED TO BE GENERATED IN THE NAME OF THE ORIGINAL OWNER, I WENT AND MET ONE MS SANDHYA IN YOUR WILSON ROAD OFFICE AND GAVE HER A COPY OF THE ORDER OF THE AEE.
THE BILL FOR DECEMBER 09 IS AGAIN RAISED IN THE ORIGINAL NAME AND NOT IN MINE AS THE “OWNER”.
I wonder what more needs to be done by me. I beleive the concerned person should be instructed to effect the changes IMMEDIATELY.
THANKS

You have to submit one copy of sale deed, tax paid receipt 2008-09 and 2009-10
these are the documents orginally needed. We paid Rs.5000 to the broker, in 15days
the documents were delivered to us.
Sir/Madam,
I had submitted for the request for meter ownership transfer along with the official fees and necessary papers on Dec 28, 2009. The transfer has still not reflected. Any advise on what should be the next step would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Dear Sir,
You can visit your nearest BESCOM office or Assistant Engineer or Junior Engineer to know the status of your application. You can carry the receipt of fees paid for reference in case they required. This will help you to know what is your next step and when your meter will be transfered to your name. If officials failed to give your required information you can use Right To Information (RTI) where officials will reply for your query.
Thank you
Why on earth, it is an arduous task to get the simple procedure of Name Transfer, after having all the necessary documents?
Aren’t people working at these offices are paid their salaries, that instead of guidance and quick dispensation of the required changes, they take you in circles and such a lot of harassment & round ups to their offices.
When oh when in India, people can come clean esp. the govt., semi-govt officials. Or atleast the govt. publishes the cash to be paid to these clerks & officers for each type of services?
There is not much use or help complaining to anyone and I belief that they too are as complacent and part of the system, itself.

Dear Sir,
The builder is not giving NOC because of some reasons – more to that he has presented letters to BESCOM not to transfer the ownership – we have all documents but not the NOC.
Will it be possible to get the electricity meter transferred in this case?

Sir,
I have all the docs required for transfer of meter. But I am going out of country and will be back after 2 years, is it ok to transfer after 2 years.

Dear Jyothi,
If you have no need for Address proof or have alternative address proof documents (passport/ration card/telephone bills) for any regulatory work in India, then there is no urgency to get the meter transfer done.

I did get my meter transferred to my name quite smoothly except for some leg work (some of it unnecessary due to the sheer bureaucratic bungling). But I now have a ticklish problem wherein my name does not appear fully in the monthly bill as my property is in joint name with my wife. Her name precedes mine in the bill so I am unable to submit the BESCOM as address proof. Any suggestions on how to get this rectified?
Hi,
I have solar water heater in my independent house and am proceeding for name change of meter

What is the process to convert from a HT connection to a LT connection in bangalore.This is a rented premises?
What is the process to convert from a HT connection to a LT connection in bangalore.This is a rented premises only.
Dear Sir,
I have purchased a flat 2 years back, registered and have the following documents:
1> Sale Deed
2> Khata paid receipts
Now transfer of Electrical Connection is pending.
Recent circular of BESCOM states that Application, Form 1, Indemnity Bond, along with Proof of owner ship like Sale Deed and Khata as well as NOC (from previous consumer) to be enclosed.
I have no NOC issued from builder (He is not a previous consumer). After the Sale Deed, I am enjoying the power connection and paying the electricity bills though the connection is in his name.
Please clarify, as per the new circular which states that the NOC is required from previous consumer (it may be interpreted that the previous owner has in possession of this energy meter for significant time).
In apartment case the builder acts as transfer of property on behalf of consumer for which consumer has paid the necessary deposits of BESCOM before the Sale Deed.
For apartment flat users why BESCOM insists NOC, though builder has unambiguously states and declares NOC in SALE DEED.
BESCOM authorities are requested to consider SALE DEED has more justifiable document than asking for one more NOC for transfer of electrical connection.
May I request help / feedback in this regard from forum.
