• Meter Transfer

Dear Ann,</p>
<p>
Please go through the FAQs on our website where we have explained how you can apply for the transfer of a meter to your name. There is no necessity for your to either engage an agent (usually an electrical contractor) or pay a bribe.</p>
<p>
You will have to provide the following documents along with the application form:</p>
<p>
Your possession details</p>
<p>
A consent letter from the previous owner for transferring the installation and also the deposits held in his name to the transferee (new owner).</p>
<p>
An indemnity bond executed by you protecting the BESCOM against any dispute that might arise out of such transfer.</p>
<p>
The BESCOM transfer fee is Rs. 100.&nbsp;</p>
<p>
BESCOM will also give you a fresh power supply agreement, in which they will agree to supply power to you.</p>
<p>
We are also preparing detailed FAQs along with formats for application. These will be on our website shortly.</p>
<p>
Regards,</p>
<p>
Raghu<br />
