Gruha Jyoti Scheme: Registration for Free Electricity Begins From Tomorrow; How to Apply?

Starting from today, June 18, the registration process for the Gruha Jyoti scheme in Karnataka will be open, as announced by the state government.

The Energy Department of Karnataka revealed that beneficiaries can register for the scheme on the dedicated page created on the Seva Sindhu portal (http://sevasindhugs.karnataka.gov.in/).

According to a statement from the department, the Gruha Jyoti scheme offers free electricity to residential households in Karnataka whose monthly electricity usage falls below the average monthly consumption for the financial year 2022-23, plus 10 percent, within the limit of 200 units. Consumers exceeding the 200 units limit will be required to pay their electricity bill in full.

The official launch of the scheme is scheduled for August 1, 2023. Starting from that date, eligible beneficiaries will receive a "zero bill" for their electricity usage in July, provided it remains within their entitlement.

The Gruha Jyoti scheme aims to alleviate the burden of electricity expenses for eligible residential households and promote sustainable energy consumption. The commencement of registration marks an important step towards fulfilling this objective, benefitting numerous households across Karnataka.
