Electricity boards, water authorities and gas companies will give a connection in a tenant's name only with the owner's written consent, because the connection stays with the premises. KSEB, BESCOM, TANGEDCO and city gas companies all list the owner's NOC among required documents for tenants.

Subject: No objection for a new electricity connection in the tenant's name
I, Joseph Antony, son of Antony Varghese, am the owner of the building at Door No. 14/221, Palarivattom, Kochi 682025 (property tax assessment no. 12/3456, Kochi Corporation).
I have let out the first floor of the said building to Mr. Sanjay Kumar under a rent agreement dated 1 April 2026, for a period of 11 months.
I have no objection to Mr. Sanjay Kumar applying for and obtaining a new domestic electricity connection for the first floor in his own name, and to the meter being installed on the premises. I undertake to inform your office when the tenancy ends.
A copy of my ID proof and the property tax receipt is enclosed.
Names, numbers and dates above are examples. Replace them with yours.
No stamp paper for KSEB, BESCOM or gas companies. Some boards ask for the NOC on Rs. 20–50 stamp paper or notarised; check the application checklist. The owner's ID copy is always needed.
Generally no. Some boards allow it with a registered rent agreement, but the owner's NOC is the standard route.
The applicant (tenant) pays and the bill is in their name; the owner's consent does not make them liable for the tenant's bills.
Gas agencies accept the rent agreement plus this NOC as address proof for a new connection or transfer.
