With the launch of the PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana, many consumers are eager to install rooftop solar and benefit from government subsidies. However, one common question that arises is:
Can a consumer avail multiple subsidies if they have more than one electricity connection (K.No) in their name?
The answer is YES!
Understanding the Subsidy Criteria
As per the guidelines of the PM Surya Ghar Scheme, the subsidy is granted based on the electricity connection (K.No.), which serves as the unique identifier. This K.No. means that:
The subsidy is linked to the individual residential electricity meter and connection number, not the name of the consumer.
If a person has multiple residential electricity connections registered under their name at different locations, they are eligible to receive a separate subsidy for each connection.
There is no restriction on the number of subsidies a person can claim, as long as each subsidy corresponds to a separate residential K.No.
What Does This Mean for Residential Consumers?
This is great news for homeowners who own multiple residential properties or have separate electricity connections for different portions of their home. They can take full advantage of the PM Surya Ghar subsidy across all eligible residential connections, reducing their electricity bills and contributing to a greener future.
For example:
✅ A homeowner with two separate residential electricity connections (one for the main house and one for an additional unit) can apply for subsidies on both connections.
✅ A person with multiple residential properties can install rooftop solar under the subsidy scheme for each property separately.
Final Thoughts
The PM Surya Ghar Scheme is a significant step toward promoting solar energy adoption in India. By allowing subsidies for multiple residential connections under the same name, the scheme ensures that more homeowners can benefit from affordable solar power.
If you have multiple residential electricity connections, now is the time to explore rooftop solar and maximize your savings!
