Subject : Periodicity of inspection of electrical installation belonging to or under control of

Central Government.

Sir,

I am directed to refer to this Ministry’s letter No. 37/18/78-Desk-I dated 27th Jan., 1979
and to say that the periodicity of inspection of the electrical installation belonging to or under the
control of the Central Government has been considered in the Ministry and the need for
prescribing shorter period of conducting inspection of electrical installation with a view to
ensuring due compliance of Indian Electricity Act, 1910 and Indian Electricity Rules, 1956 has
been examined. Now, it has been decided that the periodicity of inspection under Rule 45(1) of
Indian Electricity Rules 1956 (framed under Section 37 of Indian Electricity Act, 1910) can be
carried out by the Central Electrical Inspector or an officer appointed to assist him as indicated
below :

[Link]. Nature of Installation Periodicity of Inspection

i) High voltage/Extra High Voltage to be inspected within two years

Installation
ii) Medium Voltage Installation to be inspected within 4 years
iii) Low Voltage Installation existing arrangement may be continued

2. This supersedes the instructions contained in this Ministry’s letter No. 37/18/78-Desk-I
dated the 27th January, 1979.

Yours faithfully
