BESCOM Electricity meter transfer


Posted on October 10, 2010

I had decided not to pay a bribe to get my appts BESCOM meter transferred from the previous owners to my name. I had decided that no matter what it took, I would not pay a bribe. Luckily, it was a hassle free process and I did not have to pay a bribe at all. Heres a detailed version of how to get it done; Documents Required 1. Write a letter to the Assistant Executive Engineer Electrical {AEE(E)}, BESCOM asking for transfer of the electrical meter. Make sure you mention the following things; A. i. Meter R.R number: This will be mentioned on your electricity bill ii. Previous owner name iii. Sale deed registration date iv. Sample letter for the above provided here [After all, Knowledge Management(KM) is about reuse] 2. Go to the nearest BESCOM office (for me it was the office near the old airport -S7) and collect the application and other forms [Form I to IV] for meter transfer. A. i. They may not have it. You can download them from the BESCOM site here. 3. Get a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the previous owner or the builder this is the last form in the above download. Even a simple letter quoting the property details and R.R no will do. Make sure you mention that all the related deposits can also be transferred.

A.

i. If this property has a joint ownership, you will need a NOC from the joint owner(s) stating that there is no objection in transferring ownership of the meter to your name.

4. Now, the Power Agreement and Indemnity bond are required. The sample copy of these are available in the above download (2.a) as form II and form III. You cannot use a printout of those. These are available in some electrical outlets as most BESCOM does not carry these. Where do you get them? A. i. I got mine at Lakshmipuram [near Ulsoor on C.M.H Road]. Ask any electrical shop there if they dont have it, they will direct you to one that carries it. I paid Rs.350 for both. ii. According to a blogger, GUNDAPI, Gowri electrical (next to Silver line bakery) at Kundalahalli Gate after Marathahalli sells this iii. According to Leo, another blogger, these are available n a small tea shop near BESCOM office at Kudlu gate on Hosur Road. He also mentions that they can be obtained from the BESCOM office in Koramangala BDA complex for Rs.200 as well. 5. Sale deed copy: If you have the original, noting like it. Else get a notarized / attested from bank official copy. The bank / home loan institution will give a letter mentioning that hat original copy is with them. A. i. For those staying near HAL, notary details D.K. Prakash, #2722, BEML Main Road, H.A.L. 3rd Stage, Thippasandra Main Road, BLR -75. Landmark: Near Post Office. Ph: 080-25254564 ii. Please note, I have not used the services of the mentioned notary. 6. If you have transferred the Khata in your name, take it along. This is not mandatory. I got my Khata transferred to my name later, so I did not have it. 7. Copy of latest electricity bill. Please pay it before you show it to the official. Do yourself a favour and buy a cardboard file to and file the above documents and mention the R.R no of the meter on top in large letters along with your name and mobile no

Procedure 1. Fill up the above forms. In case of any queries, leave it blank and ask the BESCOM officials, they will help you. Seriously, no kidding. . Dont forget the witness signature in the power agreement above. It could be useful if you note the serial number of your Electricity meter and current meter reading. I did not do this, though. It got taken care of later. 2. Carry any original docs, if applicable and go to the BESCOM office on Airport road (S7) where the official will check the papers and if ok, direct you to your propertys nearest BESCOM field office to get the J.E

field report. I mentioned to this official that that I did not want to go through an agent and so I am running around myself as I have no intentions of paying anything to anyone. He just smiled. 3. Field report: I had to go to Basava nagar, next to Vibhutipura [No.80/A, 3rd Main,1st Cross,Talakavery Layout, Basava Nagar, Bangalore 560037 | Ph +(91)-(80)-25227961 ]. I picked up a lineman, who came with me, noted the electricity meter details and scribbled it on the back of the application form [2.i]. I took him back to the Basava nagar office where the Engineer signed off the noting made by the lineman. The lineman has a huge ego, so treat him well and make sure you address him as Sir . I mentioned to the lineman that I did not want to go through the agent and so I am running around myself as I have no intentions of paying anything to anyone. I was asked to go to the Engineers room where I was sure I would be asked a service charge. Nothing! I told him I was delighted that the whole process went so smoothly. 4. Now back to the Airport road S7 BESCOM office where the official asked me to pay a transfer fee of Rs.100 for which a receipt was issued immediately. 5. He asked me to come after 10 days and collect the acknowledgement which I dutifully did. 6. The next bill is in your name. Phew! Reference: Your area sub division number will be mentioned in your electricity bill. The list of all Service stations is given here and the list of all officers along with their contact numbers are given here. Airport road is S7 Sub division and headed by S. Ravindra who is an Assistant Executive Engineer Electrical [AEE(E)]. You can contact him on 25220806 if you face any issues in S7. The meter transfer officially takes only 7 days. It took even lesser and the meter no started appearing against my name when I checked online. Ok, bet you didnt know this you can check your monthly bill here. You need to enter the Sub division name and the meter R.R no to login. You can even check your current/previous bill amount, usage history in terms of bill amount / units consumed with a graph to boot. Not bad for BESCOM, eh? :) Screen shot below;

If you get your meter transferred using the above procedure, you are most welcome to treat me rate for an agent ranges from Rs.2000 to Rs.2500 all inclusive [Sept 2010 rate].

! Now, you

can also pay an agent to get this done.which will defeat the entire purpose of this blog post! GrrL The going

Do drop in a line with difficulties faced / faster processes / better procedures / comments, etc, After all, sharing

Vijay on October 12, 2010 at 1:41 PM said:

Sai, that is an encouraging note. Congratulations on your success in getting stuff done without grease. I need to get my meter transfered to my name, but just the amount of paperwork involved seems so unnecessary. Anyways, wish me luck as I set out on a similar mission this week.

Saikrishna Rao on October 12, 2010 at 2:02 PM said:

Thanks Vijay. Yeah, the amount of paperwork seems unnecessary but it is possible to get it done without an agent. All the best and keep me updated on how it goes.

We collect bribe reports (including instances where bribes werent paid like your case) and aim to work with the government to bring about changes in the system. We would like you to share your story with us (http://ipaidabribe.com/sforms/register/complaints) Thanks Regards IPAB

Incredible! Once upon a time, my friend told me that in India, the honest route seems to be full of hurdles. My reply to him was that most of the time, we are not even aware of honest routes like these. Thanks for the enlightenment. Bala

Raghavendran on October 16, 2010 at 6:53 AM said:

I also did this a long time ago determined that I will not pay a bribe. But I had to make at least 6 trips to the AEs office. I could afford to do it because I had retired from service and all this was part of the settling-down process. How many working professionals can afford to do this? My friend who had also moved to his new house a months earlier got it done sitting at home paying just Rs.500 (at that time of course!) I was left wondering whether my crusading zeal was worth all that effort. The solution to all this is for the Govt. to make the procedures simpler and straight forward, so just one or two visits to the concerned office gets the job done.

Saikrishna Rao on October 16, 2010 at 12:31 PM said:

Yeah, It should ideally happen in one trip. They could make the form filling electronic so that the engineer can refer to it in his system and it could appear on the consumer website as well by entering the meter R.R number.sigh! It took me three trips one to collect the form and find out details, one to go to get the meter reading details and finally one to submit it. But all three happened on the same day within a span of 3 hours as I had looked up some details on the net and had the documents ready.

Neeraj on October 28, 2010 at 6:13 PM said:

Dear Saikrishna, This is very informative section. I am also planning to get my name change in BESCOM electric meter. I am residence of CV Raman Nagar and share the Sub division with you. I have one clarification Do I need to submit list of electric items and points in my flat? Thanks, Neeraj

Saikrishna Rao on October 28, 2010 at 10:00 PM said:

They did not ask me for any list but it would be a good idea to mentally map the list so that you have an idea.

Pradeep on November 2, 2010 at 2:43 PM said:

Hi, I have bought a independent house from Builder. Builder hasnt yet applied for Meter yet and he is running a temporary connection. I ahve my house registration this weekend. Khatha might take few days or a month to get done. He told me that he would pay the amount(deposit etc) new meters directly in my name instead of getting meters in his name and then transfer. I would like to know how should i proceed? 1. Should ask builder to get meters and i will take responsibilities for transfer? what are the relevant charges? I see above in your article everything can be done within 500Rs. OR 2.Should i apply new meters on my own and take amount from builder for deposits? Kindly help me, as i am confused. Thanks and rGds, Pradeep

Saikrishna Rao on November 2, 2010 at 9:53 PM said:

Pradeep, firstly, khata transfer is independent of meter transfer process. So that wont matter. Secondly, it would be better if the builder does the running around for the installation and not you. The temporary connection will be in his name anyways. The transfer will not be a problem but first a permanent connection needs to be established.

Thanks Sai.. At this time i am really confused.. I have my registration on 12th nov 2010. Even if the builder applies for new connection for meters, it might take a week or so. In such scenario, should i postpone the registration or after applying the connection process is ok? How should i proceed?

Saikrishna Rao on November 8, 2010 at 9:12 AM said:

Pradeep, you should go ahead with the registration and get this done on a parallel track. Do visit the BESCOM office once and check with the Staff. I found them very helpful.

saumitra bhattacharjee on December 5, 2010 at 12:42 AM said:

Hi Sai, Thanks to your detailed outlining of the whole procedure, I did not face a single problem doing it that too without a single rupee bribe,the only place where I had to pay was for the indemnity bond and power agreement which was Rs 349 and the Rs 100 transfer fees. I would like to add just one more point for even faster processing which will actually save the double step of calling the lineman for noting your meter details which you can easily do yourself: Just make a note of the following things from your meter,they call it meter details: 1. Current Meter Reading 2. Meter Manufacturer company name(example: Landis GYR etc.) 3. Meter Rating 4 .Meter Serial Number 5 .And most importantly if it is an apartment the total series of RR nos of all the meters,they say it will not be transferred in your name if the other meters have got any dues or penalties.(But I feel this step is not very logical and has nothing to do with your meter transfer) Regards, Saumitra Bhattacharjee

Glad that this post could help you out! This should encourage people to try this on their own without succumbing to agents / bribe. Yeah, I spent the exact same amount for this process. If the other meters have got any dues or penalties in an appt, why should it be an issue for our meter transfer? Strange are the ways of BESCOM! Thanks for the steps on the meter details. I will update the post with it. Cheers!

Ajith Edassery on March 27, 2011 at 1:17 PM said:

Hi man, Really appreciate your effort. However, we need to question why this meter transfer process has to be such a complicated thing. Perhaps its based on an established process from 1947! Since, electricity bill is not like ration card or passport but a mere address proof (on top of being a receipt, that is), I think a copy of sale deed and an NOC from the previous owner is all that I see as needed documents. Do you have any idea how to force an amendment? Is it via a court case or simple appeal to the govt?

Saikrishna Rao on March 28, 2011 at 8:53 AM said:

True, the process may not have changed at all to figure out how to do this

forcing an amendment? No idea at all. However, it will be interesting

Dear Sai Krishna, I sincerely followed your advice and completed all the documents and submitted them at BESCOM S5 office. Believe me, without another visit the name transfer was effected in 12 days. The concerned official was very nice and told me that it is a free service and there is no need to see anybody or engage any agent. There are good people in all organisations and we should admire them.

Saikrishna Rao on October 30, 2011 at 6:09 PM said:

I called the customer service cell No. 080-22873333, to get the address of S7. they are not ready to disclose the address. just they gave me the phone no.s 080 25226774, 080- 25227961 & finally 9449844715, after 3 attempts. first 2 no.s are not working. the mobile no. was working. The guy who lifted the phone, could be the employee of that same sub-division. His name, he mentioned as sadanand and he shared his personal no. to contact 9731128642. he asked me 1800 INR to get my work done. before that i was in touch with one of the broker, who just quoted 1500 INR. and he is reliable tooo. he have done for 10 flats in my same apartment wihin one week. Finally i come for conclusion to go with broker, where I can save 300 INR & proven record .

Last month I tried for my birth certificates, struggled a lot with the formalities. totally exhausted. every table i paid. for bribe they kept name as formalities & documentation. If we want to fight against bribe individually, you will loose your

Also hope the documents Forms are same /universal and I do not have to collect them from any particular substation. Please let me know. I will provide you with a feedback on the progress and post it here also. Thanks for your blog.

You Can do that without bribe ,Whoever paying bribe are ignorant people .They are simply wasting money .Also they are making others life difficult .This is very very simple procedure .BESCOM senior team is corruption free and really helpful .I am sharing my experience . Just follow the procedure below http://www.saikrishna.com/bescomelectricity-meter-transfer/ You dont to transfer the Katha to your name for this . If sale deal is with bank ,get the sale deal attested by them and get a letter which says that the original sale deal is with bank . I paid just Rs 100 as fees and Rs 200 Indemnity bond .No other fees . I went to Koramangala office ,they asked me to transfer katha in my name and come back .I asked them to sign in a paper after writing that without katha transfer this cannot be done .They disagreed to do that .they asked me to leave office after by just leaving this with them without acknowledgement .I resisted .I suggest dont bend before them ,just get happily harassed by them .If you have all the documents ,just go directly to the senior officer who will be sitting next door .If he is not there dont worry . There is another way to do this. I somehow forced them to receive the document set and got a seal one the xerox copy .This is the acknowledgment .If you can do that it is good ,if they are not ready to accept it dont worry ,there is a simple last step . Send a Email to the senior flocks in the following website . http://bescom.org/en/corruption/ Please believe me ,I got this transferred the very next day . Also BESCOM senior people called me and I went their office they give me Tea and they taken me to the office where all the drama happened .Took a detail report from me .They assured me that action will be taken . I take this opportunity to thank all the senior team who supported me .Lovely experience . SO PLEASE PLEASE ,DONT PAY BRIBE AND DONT BE FOOLISH TO DO SO . If you have all the documents ,it is just a matter of couple of hours

smoothly, took about 4 weeks, but I have seen the results. The meter has been transferred to my name. I must also post a big thanks to the Seniors at the BESCOM office in Kudlu gate who were a great help and did tell me that not all of them want a bribe to do a honest job!! Managed to do all my work without paying a penny extra!! Hats off to you and a big hats off to the excellent BESCOM seniors at BESCOM office in Kudlu gate, Hosur road.

Mr Sai, I am resident of Banashankari. I have bought a flat 3 years ago . From last 3 years, the building owner is not willing to give NOC for electricity meter conversion. What is the procedure for transfer of meter in my name without NOC. I have Sale Deed, Tax receipts, A-Khata. We are 7 residents in the same flat facing the same problem. It would be of great help if you have any suggestions for the current problem.
