In case of all H.T. industrial consumers, the circle heads should look into each individual case and sanction power to the extent he is competent without any delay. The consumers should be suitably guided regarding furnishing details in the prescribed proforma specified for sanction of the load and also in respect of any other related matter and the applications processed suitably, wherever required as per rules. All the applications should be forwarded to the Chief Engineer (Com.) under intimation to the concerned Zonal Chief Engineer. In cases where large loads of more than 500 kVA are being recommended to be fed from existing facilities, this may be done under intimation to Zonal Chief Engineer and Chief Engineer (Dist.) for their information. In respect of the other cases where facilities may have to be created, the Zonal C.E. and C.E. (Dist.) should offer their comments to C.E (Com.) on the proposal made by the circle head within a period of one month at the most. If this is not done, it will be presumed that the scheme proposed by the circle head is acceptable to them and further action would be taken accordingly. The circle heads should pursue with the concerned competent authority for approval of the scheme and also arrange for materials and execution of the work on receipt of the materials by getting necessary formalities completed from the consumers.

In case where supply could be given by normal extension of the existing lines, the circle incharge in case of H.T. consumers should decide the amount to be recovered from the consumer for giving the suppply and only in cases where the load applied for is large and additional sub-station facilities have to be created for transmission & transformation the commercial arrangements are to be made by the commercial section after finalising the scheme in consultation with C.E. (Trans. PI) and C.E. (Dist.) as the case may be.
