The service rendered by the team is completely voluntary. The present transfer fee charged is
INR 1400, which includes the BESCOM standard fee, preparation of E-stamp papers, notarizing with an
advocate, printing other than attached documents, stationary and incidental charges. However, charges
may increase or decrease in line with the change in applicable cost for the transfer. The same will be
communicated at the time of submitting the application or will bring the same in the new revision of
this SOP document.

The volunteer to whom you handed over the application will closely monitor the status at
BESCOM till the name transfer is completed. The owner can freely enquire the concerned volunteer on
the status of the application and the tentative date for the name transfer to be completed.

The volunteer will not take any responsibility for delay in name transfer /any issue resulting from
BESCOM site/software malfunction or typographical mistakes done by BESCOM staff or any other issue
which is out of the purview. Volunteers mentioned in this SOP will not carry out name transfers for any
of the applications outside of SDA.

Name transfer is completely carried out by BESCOM officers only, volunteers will not be
interfering/manipulating the process, and name transfer will happen as per the standard process laid
by BESCOM. Owners must verify all the information furnished in the application is true and correct to
the best of their knowledge. RR number and Account Id are checked and ensure themselves that the
fields entered/typed are correct and legible. Please note that the name transfer volunteer is not
responsible for any damage resulting due to wrong information furnished by the owner. BESCOM will
not entertain in rectification for the mistakes made by applicants which may lead to chaos. Wherever
the owner is required to sign/or fill fields it is recommended to use a blue pen and avoid overwriting on
any of the documents.

The mandatory documents to be attached with the application are as per the current
requirement by the BESCOM office. This requirement may change from time to time. As of now,
BESCOM is accepting applications having Khata in the name of Sobha Limited. In the future BESCOM
may insist on Khata on the owner’s name.

Method of calculation of dues by sobha Limited

Illustration of dues calculation:

Step - I
Your 3 Months (90 days) electricity bill amount to : Rs.1369+Rs.1327+Rs.1461 = Rs.4157
Average per day = Rs 4157 / 90 = Rs 46.19 Per day

Step – 2
After 3 months waive off
From 07.11.2017 to 23.05.2019: Total 562 days.
Total amount payable based on Rs. 46.19 (Average per day) = Rs 46.19 X 562 = Rs. 25,958

Advance or any amount paid monthly basis shall be considered on arrival final amount.

On paying Rs. 25,958/- (subtract advance paid if any) Sobha Limited will issue NOC. The
same original NOC is attached to the application.

Note: The above-described methodology of calculation is done by Sobha Limited. The owner has to
ensure for accuracy and the methodology to calculate is up to Sobha limited, they may change from
phase to phase. Hence the owner has to ensure and clarify with Sobha limited.

Declaration by owner

The BESCOM name transfer application along with the documents attached are true to the best
of my knowledge. Volunteers will submit them to the BESCOM office in batches. Approximately after
one-week e-stamp papers will be received for the signature of the owner. Owners are requested to be
available for signing e-stamp papers on the date/time as mutually agreed. However, the documents
will be sent through courier for outstation owners (courier charges shall be borne by the owner). The
process is smooth and all steps in the transfer process will go seamlessly and may take about 45 days
to complete the name transfer. Once the E-stamp papers are signed, owners have to be vigilant about
pending bills. Any pending bill in your account will make the application struck in one place and may
lead to a delay in processing further.
Every care is taken in preventing typographical mistakes by the BESCOM staff. however, it is
still observed typographical errors in a few cases. Till now about 5 such cases have been identified. In
such cases, BESCOM staff are also not supportive enough and need repeated follow-ups. The software
also will not give access to name correction unless the fee is paid. BESCOM is charging about Rs 300/-
including the preparation of the request and raising the ticket and resolving the issue. Owners are
requested to keep in mind the issues resulting from spelling mistakes.
Address updating is not part of the name transfer process, as we are not requesting for change
in the address of installation. Sobha Limited should have incorporated during applying for the meter.
but on request, BESCOM staff are helping in correcting the address also. This may take another 30 days
to get updated.
