About this tool
Draft electricity, gas, water and broadband transfer applications with the right documents, the statutory timeline and a completion date.
This generator drafts the application to move an electricity, piped gas, LPG, municipal water or broadband connection into a new name, and builds the document checklist that goes with it. For electricity it applies the statutory cap in Rule 4(3) of the Electricity (Rights of Consumers) Rules, 2020 — 7 days in a metropolitan area, 15 in other municipal areas and 30 in rural areas — to produce a date the transfer should be completed by. It is written for buyers, tenants, landlords taking a property back and heirs, each of whom has to prove title or occupancy differently.

Electricity applications carry the Rule 4(3) cap for the area and the resulting completion date.
Purchase adds the sale deed, tenancy adds the registered agreement and owner NOC, inheritance adds the death certificate and succession proof.
Flags the no-dues certificate, because under Section 56 of the Electricity Act 2003 dues attach to the connection.
Rule 4(3) of the Electricity (Rights of Consumers) Rules, 2020 caps a new connection or a modification of an existing connection at 7 days in metropolitan areas, 15 days in other municipal areas and 30 days in rural areas. Section 43 of the Electricity Act 2003 separately obliges the licensee to give supply on application within one month. State supply codes may prescribe shorter periods, and the clock restarts if an incomplete application is returned.
The utility's own transfer form, the last paid bill, a no-dues certificate or paid receipt from the outgoing consumer, that consumer's no-objection letter, photo ID of the incoming consumer, a joint meter reading on the handover date, the registered sale deed or allotment letter, and — where the utility requires them — an indemnity bond on stamp paper and the original security deposit receipt. Tenants substitute a registered leave-and-licence agreement and the owner's NOC for the sale deed.
It is a real risk, which is why a no-dues certificate matters. Under Section 56 of the Electricity Act 2003 dues attach to the connection rather than only to the person, so a licensee can pursue arrears against the premises. Section 56(2) limits recovery of a sum not shown as continuously due to two years. Get the outgoing consumer's position in writing before the transfer, and take advice if a demand arrives afterwards.
It is not transferred directly. The outgoing consumer surrenders the connection to their distributor, returns the cylinder and regulator, and receives a Termination Voucher against which their deposit is refunded. The incoming consumer then applies for a connection with that voucher plus KYC and address proof. Collect the Termination Voucher before the outgoing consumer moves out — without it the application cannot proceed.
