Electric Sub-meter Installation Request Letter to Electricity Board

A landlord might require sub-meters installation for the rooms or flats rented to his different tenants to separately identify their electric consumption monthly and accordingly claim payments from them.

Similarly, in a joint family, each family may want to pay electricity bill in proportion to their consumption. Likewise, in many other cases people or organizations apply for sub-meters to the electricity board company.

Please check with your Electricity board if they have any specific application form or any online facility to apply for sub-meters - if not, then you can write an application letter giving details of your electricity connection, requesting for sub-meters installation and the reasons for such installation.


Some of the electricity companies are making available online facility to their consumers for applying for sub meters installation. Do enquire with the electricity company's customer care executive over phone, in case you are interested to apply online.

Manual application letter format could be as under. Fill in all required information. Do carry latest original bill while visiting electricity office.

Sub: Sub-meters installation request

Ref: Electricity connection consumer no. ........... area code .........

Dear Sir,

I have a building at (address) which is having 4 flats and those are rented to 4 different tenants. The building has an electricity connection bearing consumer no. .................... area code .............. The bills are generally shared equally by the tenants. But there has been disputes on it from time to time. In the absence of any sub-meters, it is very difficult for me to know the electricity consumption units of each tenant.

Hence, I am kindly requesting you for installation of four sub-meters at the same premises where the earlier meter is installed. I will be making necessary payments for the meters and installation charges upon receipt of the approval.

Kindly consider my application favorably.

Thanking you!

Yours faithfully,
