This method is easy because there is a good chance that the builder themselves will offer to do the BESCOM name transfer for you for a price of approx. INR 3,000, if not more. The whole process actually costs a lot less, by the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even otherwise, if you decided to pay a visit to the authorities, there will be brokers\/agents lingering outside who will jump up at you if you have the slightest look of confusion on your face and offer to get the BESCOM name transfer done for you for thousands!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, we are law-abiding citizens, and therefore, we should refrain from attempting such methods. For your reference, here\u2019s a detailed description on transferring the BESCOM name transfer to your name without bribing anyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_DIY_Method\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The DIY Method<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There may be more than 3 steps in this method, but trust us, everything is simple. So here\u2019s a detailed outline of the process<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Name_Transfer_Form\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1. Name Transfer Form<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/bescom.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/Change_of_Name_Bescom.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Form 1-4 From Bangalore Electricity Supply Company Ltd<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> must be printed and filled out before approaching officials. You\u2019ll need to submit this to the authorities. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_No_Objection_Certificate\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2. No Objection Certificate<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The current owner of the electricity&nbsp;meter or the person who is presented as a \u201cVendor\u201d on your sale deed must provide you with a NOC which should be submitted via Form 2. It is available in the series of docs that you downloaded above.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Serial_No_Of_The_Meter\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3. Serial No. Of The Meter<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Make note of the electricity meter\u2019s serial number. Ideally, take a photo of the meter on your phone and take it along with you. Make sure the serial no. and the unit reading is clear in the picture. You should take a print of out this picture and carry it along with other documents.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Bonds\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4. Bonds<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Applicants must submit the Indemnity bond and power agreement along with their application. Typically, small shops around the BESCOM office should be able to arrange this for you instantly. The expected costs of these would be as follows.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">INR 200\/- each for Indemnity bond and Power agreement and an additional INR 50\/- for processing. A total of around INR 450\/- would be the minimum.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Sale_Deed\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5. Sale Deed<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you took a housing loan, you\u2019ll need to get the sale deed certified by the bank. If your loan is from SBI or similar banks, simply approach them with two copies of the sale deed and they\u2019ll do it free of charge for you. If you have an LIC loan, they may charge you. You can get the certification done by a notary if LIC demands hefty fees.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Approaching_The_Office\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">6. Approaching The Office<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We recommend that you file everything and keep it organized before approaching the officials. By now, you should have the following documents &#8211;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Filled forms 1-4 from the Bangalore Electricity Supply Company Ltd<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">NOC from current meter owner (Form 4)<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Photograph of the electricity meter with the serial no and unit reading showing clearly<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Indemnity bond and power agreement<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Notarized sale deed (2 copies)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can go to any BESCOM Sub-division and the JE\/AE will verify the documents for you. If everything is as per requirement, the officer will proceed to sign and stamp your papers. After that, submit the entire file, THE ENTIRE FILE to the BESCOM office. Again, if everything is spot on, you\u2019ll be expected to pay a transfer fee of INR 100\/-. At this point, we recommend that you take photos of the file and the stamps\/signature on your phone just to be on the safer side.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is pretty much it. The whole thing can be done in under INR 600\/-<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"And_Youre_Done\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And You\u2019re Done<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It might take more than a month for the actual transfer to occur so until then you\u2019ll probably see the previous owner\u2019s name on the website while you try to pay the bill. We understand that everyone is busy these days so it is tempting to pay more and get it done with minimal effort from your part. However, this is not always the right thing to do as you\u2019ll be not only paying more, but also encouraging agents\/brokers to exploit people and make money from all that bribing.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Sit_Back_Relax_Method\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Sit Back &amp; Relax&nbsp;Method<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We have partnerships with one of the leading concierge service providers in India, who offers the same service to you at your doorstep.
