How to verify it yourself

Your consumer number is printed on every bill, so use it on the official Mahavitaran website or app, typed or installed by you, to see arrears and reading. A company notice before disconnection is written and delivered, and the nearest section office can confirm it in person. Do not install any app, enter bank details or send cash to a caller about a bill. Subsidy or connection schemes are applied for through the official site or office only.

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.

Questions

A caller says they are from Mahavitaran (MSEDCL, Maharashtra). Is it real?

Treat it as unverified. Hang up and contact Mahavitaran (MSEDCL, Maharashtra) through its official app or the number printed on your card, bill or official website. Never install an app or share an OTP because a caller asked.

Can Mahavitaran (MSEDCL, Maharashtra) ask me to install an app on a call?

Be very careful. Scammers use screen-sharing and fake apps to watch your screen and read OTPs. Install apps only from the official store listing that you find yourself, never from a link or a caller.
