Explains why discom approval for a sanctioned load increase covers only the utility's network and metering, leaving every downstream component — service cable, main switch, distribution board bus bar, sub-mains, and earthing — the consumer's responsibility to reassess and upgrade. Walks through the component-by-component chain that needs checking against the new maximum demand figure, and common mistakes including incremental equipment additions that push a panel past capacity without triggering reassessment. References IS 3043 for earthing reassessment. General technical education on electrical distribution compliance — actual load enhancement planning should be carried out or verified by a qualified electrical engineer coordinated with the local discom.
