West Bengal State Electricity Distribution Company [WBSEDCL] — ownership transfer in wbsedcl

Address:

Kolkata, West Bengal, 700135

Hi, i have purchased a resale flat in new town area. So i called to wbsedcl office for ownership transfer of the electricity from previous owner to my name. Now they are asking for the security deposit receipt when they provided the electricity on first time which is 5 years back.

Now persons in electricity office is asking for security deposit. Please let me know is it correct?

Should i have to pay security deposit again which ex-owner has paid at time of of electricity installation and also owner has signed in noc form for carry forward that security deposit.

Please resolve this as i do not want to pay the amount again.
