The process of getting the name transfer in an electrical connection with Bescom in Bengaluru is pretty simple and straightforward. We recently got it done for our flat and it required just two visits to the Bescom office since there is a heavy load on the server with too many requests to do the name change.

without fail. Once all the documents are ready go to the Bescom office, There will
be one authorized Bescom Employee to do this work. He will first check all the
documents and will ask you to get one file (usually provided at the Bescom
office) and then we need one signature from the officer This detail will also
be shared by the Employee who does the name change. This officer will check again
the documents and sign it. Again go to the employee he will generate the request
for a name change and give a challan of 118/- against the fee for the name change. Go
to the cash counter outside the Bescom office, pay, and collect the receipt. This
receipt and demand letter need to be given back to the employee who will
file it in the main file. It will take around 10-15 days to reflect in the
system.
