To change the name on an MSEDCL (Mahavitaran) electricity bill, the new owner applies online on the MSEDCL consumer portal with the consumer number, proof of ownership (registered deed and Index-II or property tax receipt), ID proof, latest paid bill and, where required, the previous owner’s NOC or an indemnity. After the change-of-name fee is paid and the application verified, the connection is transferred.
Why transfer the electricity connection?
The person named on the electricity bill is the legal consumer, responsible for dues and entitled to the security deposit. After buying a flat, the bill in your name serves as address proof for banks, passports and school admissions, and supports your title during resale. It is also needed to apply for load enhancement or rooftop solar.
