Many complaints are being received that field officials are measuring the height
of the building and delaying effecting of service connections on minor issues such as
physical verification of the building height for electrical safety compliance as per the
Regulation 36 of the Central Electricity Authority (Measures relating to safety and
electric supply) Regulations, 2010.In this connection, the following clarificatory instructions are issued to the field for
better clarity:

If the height of the building as per the planning permission is 15 metres and
below and there is no floor violation in the actual construction, the service
connection may be effected to that building without any physical measurement
of the building height.

If the height of the building is more than 15 metres as given in the planning
permission / building plan approval, necessary approval from the Electrical
Inspector in compliance with CEA (Measures relating to Safety and Electric
Supply) Regulations 2010 as amended, shall be obtained from the applicant
before effecting service connection.

On the other aspects, the provisions contained in the Tamil Nadu Electricity
Distribution Code, 2004 and/or Tamil Nadu Electricity Supply Code, 2004 and the
relevant instructions issued shall be followed scrupulously without any deviation.
Receipt of the memo shall be acknowledged.
