Electricity is one of the first essential services you need when moving into a new home or setting up a business. Getting a new electricity connection from the Uttar Pradesh Power Corporation Limited (UPPCL) may seem taxing, but it’s pretty straightforward once you have all the necessary documents. While applying for a UPPCL connection requires some paperwork, paying your electricity bills later on has never been easier—thanks to the Bajaj Finserv BBPS (Bharat Bill Payment System) platform.
Why the proper documentation matters for your new UPPCL connection
Getting a new electricity connection requires following a step-by-step procedure, starting with submitting the proper documents. Missing or incomplete documentation can delay your application, so being well-prepared is vital.
The UPPCL has simplified its application process over the years, but there’s still some paperwork involved. Each form, from identification proof to property documents, serves a specific purpose in ensuring you meet the eligibility criteria.
Once your connection is up and running, Bajaj Finserv BBPS can become your go-to platform for bill payments, offering a seamless experience that takes just a few clicks. But first, let’s dive into the documents required for the UPPCL application.
Documents required for a new UPPCL connection
Before submitting your application for a UPPCL connection, have the following documents ready. These documents are necessary for both domestic and commercial electricity connections.
1. Proof of Identity (POI)
A valid proof of identity is essential to verify the applicant’s identity. Acceptable documents include:
- Aadhaar card
- Voter ID
- Passport
- Driving licence
- PAN card
2. Proof of Address (POA)
You must prove that you live or operate a business at the address where the connection is required. Standard documents accepted for this purpose include:
- Registered sale deed
- Rent agreement
- Property tax receipt
- Aadhaar card (if the address matches the application)
- Utility bills (like water or gas connection)
3. Proof of ownership or occupancy
To verify that you have legal rights to the property where the connection is requested, UPPCL typically asks for the following:
- Ownership documents (Sale deed or Title deed)
- Rent/lease agreement (if you are a tenant)
- NOC (No Objection Certificate) from the property owner in the case of a rented or leased property
4. Load requirement declaration
This document outlines your required electrical load (measured in kW). It’s important to specify this, as it determines the capacity of your connection. To declare your load requirement, you will need to fill out a standard form provided by UPPCL.
5. Photograph
Recent passport-size photographs of the applicant are required as part of the submission process.
6. Bank account details
Sometimes, you may be asked to submit your bank account details for the payment of security deposits or other charges.
Ensure you have all these documents ready to make your application process easier.
