Recently, BSES came across a few unique cases
of forgery and misrepresentation where imposters were engaged in conning
customers by providing false and unauthorised assurances. These incidents came
to light when some alert BSES customers visited the BYPL’ Mayur Vihar – II
Division Office carrying a pamphlet allegedly printed on behalf of BSES Yamuna
Power Limited.
The pamphlets with the words “Kushkhabari” (Good
News) prominently printed on them informed prospective customers about a scheme
supposedly introduced by BYPL - valid from December 1, 2006 to February 28,
2007 – for services like securing a new connections without any supporting documents,
settlement of dues of the existing meters, load enhancement, settlement of theft
bills, etc The pamphlets urges interested
people to contact 9910524855.
Investigations into the case revealed that the
misleading and illegal pamphlets in question have been distributed by some
mischievous elements in the vicinity of Trilok Puri in
BSES urges its customers to guard against such
malicious and unauthorized communication by unscrupulous elements – out to make
a quick buck in a clandestine manner and tarnish the company’s image – and not
to give them any money or pay heed to such “tempting but illegal offers” –
whatever be the reason.
Customers are further advised to ascertain and
authenticate the source of all such deceptive communication and verify the antecedents
of persons – claiming to be from BSES. They should immediately alert the
nearest BSES office or call 39999888 and 3999777, should they notice anything
suspicious. If any person asks for monetary consideration, consumers are
advised to call the police or the BSES helpline numbers.
BSES would like to clarify that BSES has no
mandate to accept and process applications for new connections, settlement of
bill etc without proper supporting documents.

premier power distribution company, is committed to ensuring quality and
