The scope of this paper is to identify the most commonly adapted techniques of power tampering. We detect the tampering methods by means of respective embedded circuit and intimate it to the electricity board via sound buzzer alert, our microcontroller circuit controlling one relay which is transmitting power supply from main meter to sub meter if somebody tempered meter m/c switch of current supply. M/c display all the consumption unit of both meters on LCD. This tampering information is transmitted to electricity board via transmitter and receiver module which with further advancement can take a proper action to save electricity.
