Sr#	Description	Days
1	The applicant must complete the application form and attach the necessary documents to the nearest office. Upon submission, the office will issue a receipt and assign a seniority number to the applicant. To facilitate this process, the office will establish a seniority register that reflects the order in which applications were submitted, and the applicant will have access to it.	1
2	Before granting a MEPCO new connection, the concerned officer will personally visit the site to determine if it’s feasible. If it’s not viable, the applicant will be promptly notified.	3
3	If the location checks out for a MEPCO new connection, the office will crunch the numbers and create an estimated price tag.	2
4	Once the cost estimation is complete, the office will send a demand notice to the applicant, which can be collected in person or dispatched via post.	2
5	The applicant must deposit the demand notice fee to the bank and furnish a copy of the payment receipt to the appropriate MEPCO office.	2
6	It is significant to submit the wiring test report by the applicant for verification.	3
7	The office will prepare the priority list of applicants based on the date of submission of their dues.	1

9	Subsequently, the relevant office will contact the store to obtain connection items such as a meter, wire, installation kit, etc.	3
10	The required items will be provided to the relevant office by the store	5

Even though the process of connection installation is the same for Category II as for category-I, the estimated time may be longer than for category-I. The estimated time for Category II is up to 44 days due to its technicalities. 

The steps and process of category-III are similar to other categories. The only difference is the time to install a new meter connection. The estimated time for category-III is up to 73 days from application submission to the installation process.
