The basics

What is a BESCOM name transfer?

In Bengaluru, electricity is supplied and billed by BESCOM (Bangalore Electricity Supply Company). After you buy a property, a name transfer moves the existing connection into your name — through an application, a no-dues check and a final meter reading at the local BESCOM subdivision — so the account and bills become legally yours.

Transfer your electricity connection from the previous owner to your name with our expert assistance. We handle the entire BESCOM transfer of ownership from document verification to transfer completion including end-to-end BESCOM name change online filing, so you never have to visit a subdivision office.

Do I need a BESCOM name transfer after buying a property?

Yes. Even though you own the property, the electricity account still sits in the seller's name until you transfer it. Until then, bills and any dues are recorded against the old owner, and the bill cannot be used as valid address proof in your name.

Our professional service fee is ₹2,999. Any BESCOM or government charges — such as processing or meter fees, or clearing outstanding dues — are separate and paid at actuals.

How long does BESCOM name transfer take?

The BESCOM name transfer process is generally completed within 5 to 7 working days, subject to verification and approval.

What if the previous owner has pending electricity dues?

Outstanding electricity dues may need to be resolved before the ownership transfer can be completed.

Is physical presence required for BESCOM name change?

No. Most of the transfer process can be managed remotely with proper documentation.

What happens if the transfer is delayed?

The application status is monitored and followed up with BESCOM until completion.
