What is an Electricity Bill Name Change?
An electricity bill name change is the process of updating the name on your power connection after purchasing, inheriting, or transferring a property.
In Telangana, power supply is handled by two major utilities:
- TGSPDCL (Telangana Southern Power Distribution Company Limited) – for areas like Hyderabad, Ranga Reddy, Mahabubnagar, Nalgonda, etc.
- TGNPDCL (Telangana Northern Power Distribution Company Limited) – for districts like Warangal, Karimnagar, Khammam, Nizamabad, etc.
Updating your name on the electricity bill ensures that the new owner’s name is officially recorded in the utility company’s database, preventing legal or billing issues in the future.
💡 Why Is the Electricity Bill Name Change Important?
Changing the name on the electricity bill is not just a formality — it’s an essential step after property transfer or registration.
✅ Ensures your ownership is reflected in utility records
✅ Required when selling or transferring property
✅ Needed for home loan and KYC verifications
