Liability to pay security deposit of electricity company
This query is : Resolved
20 January 2013
In the Sale Agreement of a flat in Mumbai,which my relative has purchased, it is clearly mentioned that all electricity charges are to be borne by the flat seller upto the date of transfer of property.
The electricity charges of the company (Reliance Energy, in this case) includes the following:
1)Bill amount of Rs.430 for the last month before the date of transfer
2)"Additional security deposit demanded along with March 2012 bill but still unpaid Rs.1040" which is mentioned on the last month's bill
Sirs, kindly clarify if the flat seller is liable to pay:
1)only the monthly bill amount of Rs.430,or,
2)the monthly bill amount of Rs.430 plus the unpaid security deposit of Rs.1040, that is, total Rs.1470

While word "all" is prefixed with electricity charges that denotes whatsoever the nomenclature that shall be borne by the seller, but security deposit is generally in nature of refundable and that might be an issue of bearing this expenditure.

The Security deposit is taken for the security of the electric bill. Suppose you want to sale a flat and the purchaser has not taken over the liability of electic consumed by the seller then electricity company cannot bear the bills raised for power consumed and it cannot be written off. Hence, the default can be adjusted against the security deposit. Now, the option is with the new buyer to switch over to other power supplier like Tata Power then the minimum security deposit is to be paid. Generally The bill of Tata Power is lower then Reliance
