How to escalate a BESCOM complaint

Forward the complaint number to your group so nobody has to search for it mid-outage.

Share on WhatsApp

BESCOM's own website (bescom.karnataka.gov.in) could not be opened during verification (connection timeouts), so the 1912 helpline and app were verified from the official Play Store and App Store listings published by Bangalore Electricity Supply Company Limited. BESCOM has announced WhatsApp helplines in news reports, but no official page could be opened to confirm the number, so it is left blank.

Complaint not fixed? How to escalate

Every distribution licensee in India must run a Consumer Grievance Redressal Forum, and every state has an Electricity Ombudsman above it. Work up the ladder; keep your complaint number from step one.

  1. 1

    Local sub-division / Assistant Executive Engineer (O&M)

    Register the complaint on 1912 or in the BESCOM Mithra app and keep the docket number; approach the sub-division office if unresolved.

  2. 2

    Consumer Grievance Redressal Forum (CGRF), BESCOM

    Written complaint to the CGRF for your zone if the sub-division does not resolve it.

  3. 3

    Electricity Ombudsman, Karnataka Electricity Regulatory Commission

    Appeal against the CGRF order to the Electricity Ombudsman at KERC, Bengaluru.
