Transferring a BSES (Electricity) meter name is essential when buying a new property, inheriting, or during family settlements. An updated electricity bill acts as a vital proof of address for various government applications.

Why Change the Name on Your BSES Meter?

• Ensures utility bills are in the actual owner’s name.
• Simplifies property sale or rental processes in the future.
• Prevents legal issues regarding electricity consumption.

Essential Documents Required

• Identity Proof: PAN Card, Aadhaar Card, or Voter ID.
• Property Proof: Registered Sale Deed, Conveyance Deed, or Allotment Letter.
• No Dues Certificate (NDC): Crucial document to prove no outstanding bills.
• Current Bill: Latest paid electricity bill (should be zero-balance).
• Affidavit/NOC: Required if there is a transfer between family members or specific ownership changes.

Step-by-Step Application Process

1. Step 1: Pay all pending bills to obtain the No Dues Certificate (NDC).
2. Step 2: Prepare the Application Form along with copies of ownership proof.
3. Step 3: Draft the required Indemnity Bond or Affidavit as per BSES regulations.
4. Step 4: Submit the complete application at your local BSES Divisional Office or online portal.
5. Step 5: Undergo technical verification (if required) for meter status.
6. Step 6: Pay the nominal transfer processing fees and wait for the name change reflection.
