2011. Rule 10 of the same stipulates that building permits are not required for
constructing certain categories of buildings, including residential occupancy buildings
with total built up area on all floors up to 300 sq.meters (including existing and
proposed within the plot) and the number of storeys limited to two and all single
family residential buildings, subject to conditions.
2 Government observed that much difficulty is being experienced by the general public
for getting electric connections for want of building numbers given by the local bodies
and ordered vide GO 4th cited that any one of the following identity documents shall
be entertained by KSEB while considering an application for giving electric
connections without an authorised number from the local body:
i Possession Certificate issued by the concerned village officer
ii Residential Certificate issued by the concerned the local body
iii Voters ID card

3 Board vide BO (FB) No 2197/2008 (DPCII/T&C of Supply.02/2008-09) dated
02.09.2008 issued simplified service connection procedure. The application forms are
distributed at Rs. 10/- per application to individual applicants from cash counters of
Electrical Sections, Electrical Divisions and Circle offices. Applicants for service
connection are given an option to submit applications in person or through registered
post, along with the application fee to the Assistant Engineer of the concerned
Electrical Section. The present system of receiving the Service Connection application
at Electrical Section (directly or through registered post) is working fine for LT
consumers; at the same time it is true that few applicants for HT services experienced
inordinate delay in the processing of application.
