Licences, state by state
Licensing is handled state by state, so fees and paperwork depend on where the work is. Government fees start at about ₹500 for a wireman licence and reach ₹15,000 for a Class A contractor licence. Electrical contractor licences in Karnataka and Tamil Nadu are issued through their own electrical inspectorates and boards. Ask the electrician for the licence number and check it with the state office before you agree the job.
Season and climate
India's climate is tropical, with hot weather all year and a wet season and a dry season instead of winter and summer. Plan wall chasing and outdoor cable runs for the dry months, because the wet season slows work and damp walls must dry before plaster goes on. Ask sellers to confirm the start date against the rain forecast for your city.
How it is priced and delivered
Wiring is usually quoted per square foot or per electrical point, so give the flat's area in square feet and the number of points you want. Guides price a 2 BHK flat at 30 to 40 points, so say which BHK size you have. Prices vary by brand, layout and labour charges, so ask for materials and labour as separate figures.
What to put in your request
Describe the work needed, the scope of work and the site address, plus the number of rooms or the BHK size. List the materials you want supplied, your deadline and the experience you expect, such as a licensed wireman or a state-registered contractor. Give your budget in rupees; if you are unsure, ask for a range.
