[Resolved]  Uttar Pradesh Power Corporation [UPPCL] — Department denies to allot new electricity connection due to overloading

Address:

Arjunganj Lucknow UP 226002

Hi Dear Sir / Mada, I've applied (UPPCL Jhatpat Application No. : [protected] for only 1KW Domestic) for new temporary connection for my location near Saidata Ashram, Arjunganj Lucknow 226002.

On Survey, they rejected my application stating that they cannot provide new connection due to OVERLOADING on nearest transformer. But the reason for rejection of application, they have mentioned as INCORRECT APPLICANT DETAILS. When asked reason for the status, they informed that this is the only option they have to mention even the real cause is overloading.

I asked another department personal, who informed that it seems they are interested in bribe as 1KW load is very little load on Transformer and overloading could be easily avoided. This reason definitely sounds silly. But no matter what formulties you fulfill, but they will not provide new connection without you pay minimum Rs 20K. And top of that, once you'll apply the connection from temporary to permanent, you'll have to bribe them again. Or else they'll keep you running behind them for even 6 months with no outcome for sure.

So either pay Rs 20K to get new electricity connection or approach chief minister / energy minister / MP who knows you very well. Or else forget about New Electric Connection. This is Uttar Pradesh. Welcome to UP. This is first time for you to face any govt department work. You might not be knowing that People cannot even die here well without bribing.

Please help us to get new electricity connection without bribing them.

Thanks
