What is this service?
SRCHN.PROPERTY prepares the temporary connection application with the site ownership or permission documents and load requirement, files it with BESCOM, and follows through sanction and meter installation.
Construction sites, events and exhibitions take a temporary BESCOM connection with a defined load and period, against a deposit, instead of a permanent connection. The application needs the site documents and the expected load; the connection is sanctioned for a limited period and disconnected when it lapses.
Why and when you need it
- Why
- Construction power is a legal requirement - running a site off a neighbour's meter or a generator alone invites disconnection and penalties. Events similarly need sanctioned temporary load.
- Who needs it
- Builders and contractors starting construction, and organisers of events and exhibitions.
- When
- Before site work or the event begins.
Required documents
- Site ownership documents or owner's permission
- Applicant ID and address proof
- Expected load details
- Site plan (for construction)
- Event permission (for events)
Identity and supporting documents
- PAN card of each applicant or party

- Passport-size photographs
- For companies and associations: incorporation documents, board resolution and authorisation letter
Step-by-step procedure
- Prepare the application with site documents and load requirement
