Electricity transfer in apartments is a basic step in apartment management and it is important to prove the right of ownership over your property. It must be carried out during sale of property, transfer of ownership, transfer to legal heir in case the property owner dies or any other reason. Think of this blog as a comprehensive guide that you can refer to when you want to transfer the electric meter to your name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/adda.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/HSM-Summary-1.png\" alt=\"Electricity transfer in apartments \" class=\"wp-image-13192\" width=\"376\" height=\"376\" srcset=\"https:\/\/adda.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/HSM-Summary-1.png 600w, https:\/\/adda.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/HSM-Summary-1-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/adda.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/HSM-Summary-1-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/adda.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/HSM-Summary-1-250x250.png 250w, https:\/\/adda.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/HSM-Summary-1-80x80.png 80w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 376px) 100vw, 376px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_81 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<label for=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-69dac90fc658a\" class=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-label\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/label><input type=\"checkbox\"  id=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-69dac90fc658a\"  aria-label=\"Toggle\" \/><nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/adda.io\/blog\/2021\/03\/electricity-transfer-in-apartments\/#What_will_I_need_for_Electricity_transfer_in_apartments\" >What will I need for Electricity transfer in apartments?<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/adda.io\/blog\/2021\/03\/electricity-transfer-in-apartments\/#Mumbai\" >Mumbai<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/adda.io\/blog\/2021\/03\/electricity-transfer-in-apartments\/#Bengaluru\" >Bengaluru<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/adda.io\/blog\/2021\/03\/electricity-transfer-in-apartments\/#Chennai\" >Chennai<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/adda.io\/blog\/2021\/03\/electricity-transfer-in-apartments\/#What_could_go_wrong_during_Electricity_transfer_in_apartments\" >What could go wrong during Electricity transfer in apartments?<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-6\" href=\"https:\/\/adda.io\/blog\/2021\/03\/electricity-transfer-in-apartments\/#Bribes\" >Bribes<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-7\" href=\"https:\/\/adda.io\/blog\/2021\/03\/electricity-transfer-in-apartments\/#Delays\" >Delays<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-8\" href=\"https:\/\/adda.io\/blog\/2021\/03\/electricity-transfer-in-apartments\/#Discrepancy_in_ID_proof_details\" >Discrepancy in ID proof details<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_will_I_need_for_Electricity_transfer_in_apartments\"><\/span><strong>What will I need for Electricity transfer in apartments?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As you are aware, this is an official government procedure and any matter that must be dealt with the state requires documentation and paperwork.

There might be a chance that \u201cbrokers\u201d or \u201cagents\u201d lingering outside the electricity office maybe ready to jump at the slightest opportunity. They may offer to get it done for you by charging you way more, for the same procedure. But we are law-abiding citizens. No matter how easy or convenient this method might be, bribing is a crime which contributes to corruption.
