For purpose of supply except for agricultural pumping, the
Board would provide overhead service lines with a tree allowance

the applicant.

areas where distribution system is underground or where underground
services are prescribed by the Board, a tree allowance upto
30 metres beyond the consumer's premises is admissible.
In areas where the distribution system is overhead but for
any other reasons underground service lines are required to
be laid, no free allowance would be admissible.

one premises to another it consumer so desires, provided
the entire actual expenditure in shifting the service
lines, including cost of additional materials, if any,
plus supervision charges at 15% on labour and material,
is borne by the consumer and such shifting is technically

existing before shifting the line will continue to remain
in force at the new premises.

H.T. Consumers : The service line once laid shall
not be transferred or shifted from one premises to another.
However, in case where the shifting of a service line

other authorities or for reasons beyond the control
of the consumer, such shiftingg will be considered by
the Board provided the entire actual expenditure in
shifting the service line including the cost of additional
materials, if any, plus the supervision charges at 15%
on labour and materials is borne by the consumer and
such shifting is technically feasible. When the service
line is so shifted, the agreement existing before shifting
the line will continue to remain in force at the new
premises.
