This is based upon my personal experience, which I faced when I purchased a flat in resale in Mumbai during 2012.

But no doubt the process was lengthy and there were 4-5 steps involved in it.

And in my locality I had to visit 3 different offices (In vicinity of each other though not in same complex) for accomplishing the same.

In your case all three might be in same complex depending upon the area you live in.

He will also mention a fee of INR 100 in it as Meter Testing Charges.

He will give you receipt of paid amount and will also fill the receipt No.

Go back to Electricity Supply office and submit Original Challan Form along with copy of receipt and copy of your electricity bill too technician there.

Their technician will visit your society in next 3-4 days for meter testing (seems they have some machine with which they check whether meter is running fine or not) and will submit testing report to you at home.

If you usually dont stay home try to convey him that you dont stay at home in office hours and will collect testing report from his office personally.

On this testing Report you have to get signature of Engineer again who issued you earlier Challan.

There supervisor will check all your documents and if they are in order, he will retain all the documents and will issue you another Challan for transfer charges of INR 25.

Though there is acknowledgement format given at the end of Form-U, they didnt give me any acknowledgement of Documents submitted.

After 15 days my electricity bill got issued and I got relieved to see my name on it and thus electricity connection got transferred to my name.

If it is not possible for you to take his signature as he might not be reachable by you, even then also I guess there is no issue in transferring connection to your name, as you submit undertaking on stamp paper for indemnifying MSEDCL against any claim.

I am not sure about this, it is better to submit this as well as this is not difficult to make.

Be patient while following his lengthy process because in the end it would be done.

If you dont want that then keep the Fathers name column empty in Form A-1.
