To transfer the electricity connection in your name after the landlord's death in a Pagdi system property, you'll need to obtain a new tenancy agreement with the landlord's legal heir(s) and then approach the electricity provider with the new agreement and other necessary documents.

You'll need to negotiate a new tenancy agreement with the legal heir(s) to formally establish your continued tenancy and occupancy rights.

In Pagdi system, a tripartite agreement may be required, involving the outgoing tenant, the new landlord (legal heir), and you as the incoming tenant.

Go to the local office of the electricity distribution company.

The electricity provider will guide you on the next steps, which may include payment of any applicable fees or charges.

I did everything but got to know that one of the heir is against the tranfer of electricity bill. There are other 2 tenants like me who r stuck in this mess. One of the heir written a letter to electricity department to not tranfer electricity bill on any new tenant name. There dispute between heir. I got the receipt of deposit n transfer of tenancy rights but electricity bill is not getting tranfer to my name as there is opposition from one heir.
