ShareLinkedIn WhatsApp

Have you applied for a bank loan under the PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana, but the loan amount has not been disbursed on time? Is your rooftop solar installation delayed because the bank has not released the payment? Loan disbursement delays can create difficulties for both homeowners and solar EPC vendors. They may affect installation schedules, payment commitments, and the overall implementation of a rooftop solar project. However, repeatedly visiting the bank may not be the only way to address the issue. You can also use the available grievance and support channels to report the delay and seek assistance. In this guide, we explain how to raise a complaint regarding a PM Surya Ghar bank loan delay, which support channels are available, what information you should provide, and how to maintain a proper record of your complaint. Why Is Your PM Surya Ghar Loan Disbursement Delayed? Loan disbursement delays can occur for several reasons, depending on the bank, the loan agreement, and the stage of the solar installation. Common possibilities include:

- Pending verification of loan documents.

- Incomplete formalities required before releasing a loan tranche.

- Pending installation or commissioning-related documentation.

- Communication gaps between the bank, beneficiary, and solar vendor.

- Delays in the bank's internal processing or approval workflow. The first step is to ask your bank for a clear explanation of the delay. Find out which stage your application has reached, what action remains pending, and whether any additional documentation is required. Keep the bank's response in writing wherever possible. How to Complain About a PM Surya Ghar Loan Delay If the issue remains unresolved after contacting your bank, you can seek assistance through the following channels. These are scheme support channels; the lending bank remains responsible for its loan decisions and disbursement process. 1. Register a Grievance on the PM Surya Ghar Portal The official PM Surya Ghar portal is an important starting point for reporting a scheme-related issue, particularly when you need to provide detailed information about your application and loan status. Official website: https://pmsuryaghar.gov.in/ Before submitting your grievance, keep the following information ready:

- Applicant's name and registered mobile number.

- PM Surya Ghar application details.

- Bank name and available loan reference number.

- Current loan application or disbursement status.

- Details of the delay and any explanation provided by the bank.

- Relevant supporting documents, wherever requested. Use the grievance or complaint facility available on the portal and provide a clear description of the problem. If the portal generates a grievance reference number or ticket ID, save it for future follow-up. Why is a detailed complaint important? A complaint that explains the complete situation is generally more useful than a brief statement such as “My loan is pending.” Include dates, the stage at which the disbursement is stuck, and the steps you have already taken. 2. Raise Your Complaint Through WhatsApp You can also contact the support channel at the following WhatsApp number regarding your PM Surya Ghar loan issue: WhatsApp: +91 7303306935 Explain the problem clearly and include the relevant application or loan reference details, where appropriate. If you receive a ticket ID or complaint reference number in response, save it. You can use that reference when following up on the complaint. WhatsApp can be convenient because it allows you to communicate your issue in writing and retain a record of the conversation. However, a trackable ticket ID is not guaranteed for every bank-loan complaint. If a ticket is issued, retain the number and any related response. For your security, do not share OTPs, passwords, PINs, or unnecessary sensitive banking information. 3. Send an Email to the Support Team Email is another option for explaining your problem in detail and retaining a written record of your communication. Email: rtssupport@recindia.com Use a clear subject line, such as: Subject: PM Surya Ghar Yojana – Bank Loan Disbursement Delay – Request for Resolution Your email should include:

- Applicant's name.

- Application or loan reference number, where available.

- Bank and branch name.

- Current status of the loan.

- A brief timeline of the delay.

- Details of previous communication with the bank.

- Relevant supporting documents, if required. Keep a copy of the email and any reply you receive. If a complaint reference number is provided, mention it in subsequent correspondence. 4. Call the Helpline at 15555 You can also call 15555 to seek assistance. Before calling, keep your application details, bank name, loan status, and a brief description of the issue ready. This will help you explain the matter clearly. During the call, ask what steps you should take next and whether a complaint or reference number can be provided. Keep in mind that a trackable ticket is not guaranteed through every support channel. If you receive a reference number, record it for future follow-up. Which Is the Best Way to Raise a PM Surya Ghar Loan Complaint? The most suitable channel depends on the nature of your problem and the type of follow-up you need. - PM Surya Ghar portal: Submitting a detailed grievance with relevant application information.

- WhatsApp: Written communication and follow-up, particularly if a ticket ID is issued.

- Email: Sharing a detailed explanation and retaining a written record.

- Helpline 15555: Seeking guidance on the next steps. WhatsApp can be convenient when it provides a ticket ID that can be used for tracking or follow-up. However, for a detailed grievance and a formal record within the scheme's complaint process, it is also important to submit the issue through the PM Surya Ghar portal, in line with the applicable guidance. Rather than relying exclusively on one communication channel, consider using the portal for the detailed complaint and an additional support channel for follow-up when appropriate. What Should You Do After Filing the Complaint? Submitting a complaint is only the first step. Maintaining a clear record and following up systematically can help you communicate the issue more effectively. 1. Save the complaint record: Keep a screenshot, email copy, or other available confirmation.

2. Record the reference number: If a ticket ID or grievance number is issued, keep it accessible.

3. Ask the bank for the reason: Request a clear explanation of the delay and identify any pending formalities.

4. Check the next action required: Confirm whether any document, verification, or process remains incomplete.

5. Follow up with the existing reference: Where possible, refer to your earlier complaint rather than starting the explanation from scratch.

6. Escalate through the appropriate channel: If the matter remains unresolved, use the bank's official grievance redressal mechanism. Depending on the nature of the issue, the bank's response, and the applicable eligibility conditions, you may also be able to approach the Reserve Bank of India's complaint mechanism. Official RBI Complaint Management System: https://cms.rbi.org.in/ RBI complaint eligibility requirements and procedures apply. Check the current rules before submitting an escalation. A complaint to scheme support is not a substitute for first raising the issue with the bank through its grievance mechanism. Important Advice for Solar EPC Vendors and Homeowners Loan disbursement delays can affect project timelines and create uncertainty for both the beneficiary and the solar installation vendor. To reduce confusion, all parties should maintain clear documentation of the loan process, installation status, pending requirements, and communication with the bank. Homeowners should seek clarity on the status of their loan, while vendors should maintain appropriate project and commissioning records. Neither party should assume that a complaint automatically guarantees immediate disbursement. A clear timeline, complete documentation, and systematic follow-up can make it easier to explain the problem and identify the next appropriate step. Conclusion If your bank loan under the PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana is delayed, do not rely solely on repeated visits or verbal assurances. You can seek assistance through the PM Surya Ghar portal, WhatsApp at +91 7303306935, email at rtssupport@recindia.com, or the helpline at 15555. Where a ticket or grievance reference is provided, keep it safe and use it for follow-up. For detailed documentation, use the portal's available grievance facility and retain copies of your communications. The key is simple: document the problem, raise the complaint through the appropriate channel, and follow up systematically.
