Fake BSES (Delhi electricity) messages and links

Fake BSES texts about late-night disconnection, overdue bill links, cancelled subsidy and solar instalments. See the lines and verify.

BSES Rajdhani and BSES Yamuna are electricity distribution companies serving large parts of Delhi, with bills, rooftop solar and an app of their own. Because many people use it, scammers pretend to be BSES (Delhi electricity) in SMS, WhatsApp and email messages. This page lists the lies they usually tell and how to check before you act.

Lines used in fake BSES (Delhi electricity) messages

Your BSES supply will be cut at 10 pm, update your KYC by calling this number
BSES bill is overdue, pay via this link to stop disconnection
Subsidy cancelled, re-register with your Aadhaar and OTP
Rooftop solar installation approved, pay the first installment today

How to verify it yourself

Your CA number is printed on your bill. Use it in the official BSES website or app, typed or installed by you, to see the current bill, subsidy status and meter details. A late night SMS is not how supply is cut, and the nearest BSES office can confirm anything in person. No employee asks for a UPI PIN, a remote app or a personal payment, because a PIN is only for sending money, never for receiving a credit.

Quick checklist

Do not tap links or call numbers inside the message.
Open the official app, or type the official website yourself, and look for the same notice.
Never share an OTP, PIN, CVV or password with anyone, including "staff".
If money moved, call 1930 and your bank at once.
