About BESCOM

BESCOM supplies electricity to Bengaluru and eight surrounding districts, which gives it a consumer profile no other Karnataka utility has, a huge urban and IT office load layered over ordinary residential and rural demand.

Consumers pay bills, apply for new connections and report faults through its portal and app. The state's free electricity scheme for households also brought a large number of consumers to its digital services for the first time. Its worst days are during pre-monsoon storms, when tree falls take out local lines across the city and complaints arrive in bulk.

If BESCOM isn't working

For a failed payment, keep the reference A failed bill payment is normally auto reversed. Note the reference and check your bill status before paying again, so you do not pay twice.
Try the app instead of the site, or a UPI app If the BESCOM website is stuck, the official app or a UPI app like PhonePe, Google Pay or Paytm can usually fetch and pay the bill.
For a power cut, call 1912 A power outage is separate from the billing site. Call 1912 or use the app to register the outage, and keep your consumer number ready.
Keep your consumer number ready Have your consumer or account number (from your bill) ready, since every bill check, payment and complaint needs it.
Check the live status above If many people are reporting BESCOM right now, it is a wider problem and not just you.

Other ways to access BESCOM

Pay through a UPI or BBPS app You can pay your BESCOM bill through PhonePe, Google Pay, Paytm or your bank's BBPS bill-pay, which usually works when the utility's own site is down. Keep the consumer number.
Use the official app The BESCOM app can show and pay bills and register complaints when the website is busy, and the other way round.
Report a power cut on 1912 For a no-supply complaint, 1912 reaches the local board directly and does not depend on the billing website being up. The verified BESCOM helpline has the numbers.
Pay at a collection centre For a due bill when everything online is down, an authorised bill-collection centre or the utility office accepts payment in person.

Questions

Check the live status and report map above. If reports are spiking, especially near bill due dates or during a power cut, it is a wider BESCOM problem and not just you.

Start with the reports above. BESCOM covers Bengaluru and the surrounding districts, so a genuine outage shows up as a tight regional cluster rather than a national one. A bill that will not open on a working site usually means a mistyped account or RR number.

Do not pay again immediately. A failed payment is normally auto reversed within a few working days, and the bill often updates once the utility reconciles it. Keep the transaction reference and check your bill status before paying again.

Close to due dates a huge number of consumers in Bengaluru and Karnataka pay together, so the portal slows down or errors out for a while. It is the load, not your connection.

For a power outage, call 1912, which reaches the local electricity board, or use the utility's app to register and track the complaint. The billing website being slow does not mean the power complaint line is down.

Ghabraye nahi. Due date ke aas paas load hota hai. Payment fail ho to amount aksar kuch din mein wapas aa jata hai, reference sambhal kar rakhein aur dobara pay karne se pehle status check karein. Bijli complaint ke liye 1912 par call karein.

Yes. Tap the Download button on the live status card at the top of this page to save the BESCOM server down image. The screenshot shows BESCOM's current status, the last checked time and how many users across India are reporting problems right now. So when BESCOM is actually down you get a real service down screenshot, not a mock-up. Save the service down image to keep it or send it to someone.

We run an on-demand server check from our side and combine it with real user reports across India. Reports are the main signal, because BESCOM can respond to our check while it is still failing for many users. So if reports are spiking here, it is a real problem even if the site loads for us.
