Do it yourself guide for BESCOM meter & deposit transfer

This I have copied from our office mailer. I wanted to share this with all. I owe a lot of thanks to Nitin.

For benefit of those owners who have not transferred name and deposits transfer to their name from previous owner/builder, here is the list and procedure to do same yourself.

List of Documents:

(1.) An application on plain paper addressed to Additional Executive Engineer. S7, BESCOM quoting RR number, previous owner and sale deed registration date.

(2.) NOC from previous owner for transfer addressed to AEE (As in 1.).

(3.) Power agreement (200 Rs) & indemnity bond (Rs 100) - Available at Gowri electrical at Kundalahalli Gate just before Silver line bakery). Ready proforma for applications in (1.) & (2.) are also available with him.

(4.) Sale deep copy - If original is there carry it otherwise get copy notarized or collect a paper from home loan vendor in this regard)

(5.) Field Report to be given by J.E. in BESCOM office on Ryan school road.

(6.) Khata Copy

(7.) Latest electricity bill

Transfer fee: Rs 100

Procedure:

1. Collect all above papers except (5.), punch & file in a hard folder. (This is required as BESCOM people will not do anything without it.)

2. Fill all details & go BESCOM office at Ryan school road. J.E. (Narayan swamy) will ask installed load (Bulbs+ fans+TV+ heater, fridge etc) .

It is possible that your installed load will exceed sanctioned load. So be careful while you mention installed load. Ensure that your stated load does not exceed your sanctioned load as mentioned in your current bill. This report scribbled on your application states that meter is working & total installed load is so much.

3. Take one witness's address & signature on documents in (3.)

4. Go to S7 BESCOM office near old airport and go to account officer ( A lady employee). She will check all papers & will direct you a clerk. Please carry originals for all submitted copies.

5. If all papers are right, you will be directed to pay Rs 100 as transfer fee.

6. You will be asked to come after 1 week (as a procedure ) to collect transfer paper. If there are multiple co-owners in property and you are getting meter & deposit transfer to one of the co-owners, other co-owners need to give a letter stating that they don't have any objection in transferring to other co-owner. This letter is addressed to AEE.

Note: AEE of S7 Bescom is One Mr Ravindra. He sits in same office. His cell number is available on bescom website. Meet him if you face any problem. Maximum time for transfer is 7 days after submitting all required papers.
