Bangalore Electricity Supply Company BESCOM Complaint Filing

Online Legal India LogoBy Online Legal India Published On 01 Jan 2021 Updated On 06 Apr 2021 Category Consumer Complaint 50 comments

Since the implementation of the Indian Electricity Act, 2003, electricity has been revolutionized in the country. There are multiple provisions for billings and electricity consumption units under different public & privatized electricity distributors.

BESCOM (Bangalore Electricity Supply Company) is a state-owned electricity regulation board operating within Karnataka, responsible for power distribution in eight districts of Karnataka (Bangalore Urban, Bangalore Rural, Chikkaballapura, Kolar, Davanagere, Tumkur, Chitradurga, and Ramanagara).

The recent mishappening in BESCOM regarding Dust due to the construction and demolition works and trucks transportation has caused health issues to the employees, and the people living around. A citizen can file a complaint against such misconduct and pollution. 

Apart from that, the common consumers often fall victim to cases of mishandling and bill manipulation from the end of BESCOM.

Reasons for Complaints

Any consumer can file a complaint against BESCOM and claim for redressal of the following grievances to the consumer court:

  • Dust issues due to misconduct of BESCOM
  • Non-supply of electricity meter when applied
  • Wrong and disproportionate bills
  • Bills for other user’s connection
  • Disconnection without notice and without reason
  • Bill without taking a meter reading 
  • Bill for defective/burnt meter
  • Bill without any consumption of electricity

Complaint Filing against an Electricity Supplier

Special courts for electricity grievances had been set up in India by the electricity department.

Apart from that, the Honorable Supreme Court passed the verdict that consumer forums can also hear electricity matters and provide an additional remedy to consumers. 

Standing in queues for long hours and drafting complaints physically sum up to a waste of both time and money, and many cases even remain unresolved as well. It is a lengthy and complicated process that often results in impatience and irritation.

Filing Consumer Complaints Online

Filing a consumer complaint against the electricity supplier in any state has become easier with the advent of digital services.

Thus, it is recommended to use online mode for lodging a complaint. One can sit anywhere and lodge an online complaint against BESCOM at the country’s very own consumer protection platform, Online Legal India™.

Power cuts every single day since last 6 months. There is no limits for power cuts. Literally 5hrs in the morning 5hrs in the evening and power cuts for long durations in the midnight. This is causing problems for our jobs since we work from home. I have filed lot of complaints since last 6 months and they send me docket number with deadline to fix it. But, nothing has been done. Since 6 months all they say is UG cabling, interruptions or trips. Literally the no.of hours power provided is lesser than no.of hours of power cut in Amruthnagar area. 14 to 15 hours of powercut with same excuses since last 6onths and nothing is been even done till date. Inconvenience because we are working from home and night no power to sleep. Bescom isalways not reachable
