Tamil Nadu Electricity Regulatory Commission (TNERC) has notified an amendment to the Tamil Nadu Electricity Supply Code to enable the transfer of electricity service connection in the name of tenant or leaseholder by producing a registered lease/rent agreement as proof of occupancy.
The amendment follows a representation from consumers that Tangedco has been rejecting such name transfer requests in the absence of the specific provision. In a recent representation to TNERC, M/s. Embassy property Services pointed out that it was the lease holder and co-developer of the property near Vels University, Zamin Pallavaram, Chennai and the Land Owner was M/s. SNP Infrastructures LLP, under whose name the HT service connection was effected.
