My appt Builder is asking for some (big) money before he can issue NOC for electricity connection name transfer. We have already paid a handful of money in the beginning towards BESCOM, BWSSB, Water etc for which Builder hsnt give us the break ups/receipts.
I have sale deed, registration and Khata done on my name and I do not understand why BESCOM would still need NOC as I am the first owner.
Is there any way I can get electricity connection name transfered to my name without NOC?

Hi,
We stay in apartment and have availed home loan, so obviously we don’t posses the original documents. Can someone clarify about the statement mentioned in the procedure above ” You will need to carry original documents of your property and Khata for verification documents”
Regards,
Naveed Ahmed
I believe if you had true copies/notary signed copies of original document, that might also work.
Also check with bank provided documents which are proof of your ownership

Hi Every one,
I recently transferred my electricity meter (GM Palya – Apartment) from the builder’s name to my name.
Sri T.D.Hemachandra(retired Ex. Engr From KPTCL), who is posting comments in this forum, helped me with the procedures for a nominal fee. We have not paid any bribe. After the process, the next electricity bill that came in Jan 2011 reflected my name and address.
I recommend , for those who require such a service, to pls. contact him.
Thanks,
Vivek
Hello Vivek Rajan,
So, did you have the khata for your property?
And what was the nominal fee that you had to pay?
We stay in J.P.Nagar 6th phase.

Greetings,
I just thouhgt to pay my gratitude to Mr. Hemachandra for the great work that he did towards my BESCOM related work. I happened to meet him in this website and to my surprise he was so approchable and smooth to interact that I never had a problem in getting my job done.
Though my father was the owner, we had taken the new connection 20 yrs ago in our tenants name for a commercial purpose. I had previously approached few consultants they gave me some vague ideas and demanding more cash. Mr. Hemachandra the saviour came to my rescue and he helped me in getting the ownership transfer and trariff change. He is so prompt, he has never missed his schedule, he is friendly.
I would recommed any one to contact Mr Hemachandra who has trouble with BESCOM related works and promise you that your job will be finished without a single penny of bribe.
Best regards,
Girish G

Hi to all,
My dad had purchased an independent house 7 years back! But the electricity was not in his name. And unfortunately, my dad has expired last month. So now we need to change the name from the previous owner’s to my Dad’s name or to my Mom’s name. We have all the documents except the NOC! So please do let me know as to how much time it would take to get reflected on this?
Thanks,
R.John
Hi Jhon
Kindly contact me over My cell phone 9945514150 For all details How ever N.O.C is not necessary If you are prepared to pay additional Deposit/3mmd or depending upon you energy consumption. Also send your scanned copy of the bill to ascertain the actual amount to be paid
to E-Mail ID hemachandratd@yahoo.com.
I took the help of Mr. T.D. Hemachandra to do a name change as well as to enhance the sanctioned load. He has been extremely helpful, going out of his was to arrange a contractor who could do the load enhancement paperwork done in a very timely manner. He guided me on the necessary documents for the name change as well and followed up with the offices to make sure everything went smoothly and in a timely fashion.
I was able to get everything done in a very short time-frame without having to waste my valuable time running up and down to the BESCOM office trying to collect all information to get this done.
I would surely recommend Mr. Hemachandra to anyone needing guidance on matters concerning BESCOM consumer affairs.
Please help me , how I can transfer my Electricity meter to my name.

I have been very pleased to receive help from Mr Hemachandra as well. He was invaluable in providing information/assistance as to transfer meter which was in builder’s name, to my name. ( I don’t even know how to get the forms! He showed me !). Very very helpful. A good samaritan. I recommend anyone who needs to understand how to do ANYTHING related to Bescom, please consult Mr Hemachandra first and save yourself from trial and error and running about. Know beforehand.
Thanks Mr H.
While googling for the BESCOM bill name transfer,an issue with which have been living with over 2 years, by luck I managed to see the comments on Shri. T.D. Hemachandra, now after 2 weeks of interaction with him, all my worries have now vanished and doubts put to rest with Shri. T.D Hemachandra’s straightforwardness, promptness, immaculate follow-ups and invaluable experience.
I would strongly advise anyone reading this to take his guidance and assitance for any BESCOM related issues.

I wanted to get BESCOM bill name transferred to my name from my late mother name. In this context when searching internet i came across this website and found out about Mr.Hema chandra, a retired BESCOM official and a true gentleman. I spoke to him over phone, met him personally and used his expertise in getting the work done smoothly and in transparent manner without paying bribe. He also charges bare minimum for his services. I am thoroughly satisfied with his work approach and efficiency. Hence request one and all to use his services for all Electrical related issues, where we cannot run pillar to post and spend our valuable office time stuck up in Bescom offices. I also have referred one of my friend , who is also using his services. He can be contacted on his mobile 9945514150. One big advantage is , he is computer savvy and responds via emails and i happened to transfer funds through internet to his account. So it was very surprising to see a retired official being so update with technology and lastly he knows his job. With regards, Ramprasad

Hi,
I am staying in “XXX Apartments” which is located on the Sarjapur main road, My Builder doesn’t have a permanent Electricity yet…still using the temporary one which they applied during construction…now their construction part is over and many of us took the possession also – close to 50 Families staying over there in such a huge apartment without permanent electricity connection and intend to pay a monthly Ebill of 750Rs…without any proper bill request… we have paid the some amount whatever the builder asked for electricity before taking possession also they have promised that it will be done in a month. Now it’s more than a year…still awaiting for this
Please advise us whom to contact and how to get this done, as the builder is not cooperating with us in any terms…
Regards,
RAM
Just would like to recommand Mr T.D Hemachandra for BESCOM name change service. He did my name transfer in 2 weeks time. He is well experienced and prompt.
The good thing to note is, once you give all the required documents, you no need to follow-up. He will follow-up and keep you updated.
Thanks, Regards,Krishna
My cousin has purchased a flat in bellandur and wanted to transfer the Electricity Bill transferred to her name and when i googled and come across Mr. Hemachandra ( 9945514150 ) and that was very lucky. The moment i made first call to him, i can feel that i am talking to a person who can get the work done in transparent manner without trouble. He came home collected all the documents and did the work by himself. Next month wolla the bill has changed to my cousin name and i don’t need to run pillar to post for it. And he has handed over the documents once the transfer is completed. He charges for his service which is nominal and i feel it is better than go through than touts.

I am staying at Kaval Byrasandra, R.T. Nagar, Bangalore.We had a problem related to Bescom power connection.The builder of our Apartments had understated the plinth area while applying for Electric connection to the building.It is understood that he was able to do so by colluding with the then Bescom officials 12 years back, may be for saving part of the actual fees. None of the apartment owners had transferred the power connection to the individual owner name all these years as all of them were busy due to official and other various reasons. Recently when owners started applying for transfer of connections to the respective names, the issues came out. Bescom demanded a regularisation fee of more than one lakh rupees to set right the irregularities before transferring meters in individual names.They also resorted to disconnections in order to realise the said regularisation fees,as the builder was reluctant to pay the said amount.
Mr. Hemachandra came to our help in taking up the matter with different levels in Bescom and also advised us on how to proceed in the matter. Finally due to pressure from BESCOM as well as against our legal notices, the builder came around and made the dues and the connections were regularised.
Mr. Hemachandra was very diligent in pursuing the issue and shown more interest in the subject than the flat owners, which came to our rescue ultimately.
I take this opportunity to express mine and flat owners’ sincere thanks to Mr. Hemachandra and also to this forum through which I came to know about him.

Mr. Hemachandra helped us a great deal in getting the EB name transfer in Bellandur.
He charges a nominal fee and takes care of the entire procedure. This was ver y helpful and convenient for us. I got his contact details through this forum and got in touch with him. His response was prompt and handling of the task very efficient.
I am demalishing the old building and we are planning to construct a new building
we have to surrendor the keb meter what is the procedure.
i have online pay electricity bill. but i m forget the website of bescom. can u tell me the site of bescom in my email id my id is namrata.verma2009@gmail.com
I got my BESCOM name change done via Mr Hemachandra and the process was smooth. He has visited my home to take the readings and I never had to go to the BESCOM office once. He also helped in correcting the address which was updated wrongly by the BESCOM folks. I highly recommend Mr. Hemachandra. Note: You can negotiate for a lesser rate if there are a good number of applications from the same complex, so try as a group.
i am staying in Rajarajeswari nagar, we got the power to our the building march 2011, i want to install solar water heater in my flat but some of other flat owners are objecting for solar installation, please can i get if any regulation copy or circular copy atleast i can show our building others owners.

He charged a minimal amount and His service is highly appreciable. Being an Rtd person from Besom he is familiar with all the formalities that are required for all the Bescom related work. I recommend his name for meter transfer.

I was fortunate to Meet Mr. Hemachandra T D at Rajajimagar, when I wanted to change the name of BESCOM meter. He was kind enough to help me to transfer the meter ownership. I appreciate his enthusiasm to serve public by being service oriented without expecting any return.
