The Greater Bengaluru Authority (GBA) has introduced a special relaxation allowing homeowners within its jurisdiction to obtain electricity connections without having to submit an occupancy certificate (OC).
Under this special scheme, a homeowner can apply for electricity connection even if an occupancy certificate has not yet been issued. After receiving the application, the concerned electricity supply company will carry out a site inspection, take photographs of the property, and verify that the building has been completed and satisfies the prescribed eligibility criteria.
