Gruha Jyothi Scheme: Free Electricity for Karnataka Households
The Government of Karnataka has launched the Gruha Jyothi Scheme, which provides free electricity up to 200 units for every residential household in the state. The scheme is aimed at reducing the burden of electricity bills on low-income households.
To be eligible for the scheme, households must be connected to the grid and must have a monthly consumption of less than 300 units. Households with more than one meter will only be eligible for the scheme for one meter.
Applications for the scheme can be made online through the Seva Sindhu website or at Grama One, Karnataka One, and Bangalore One centers. The registration process will begin on June 15, 2023.
Benefits of the scheme will be applicable from meter reading date on or after August 1, 2023 (for July 2023 consumption).
How does the scheme work?
The Gruha Jyothi Scheme is a simple and straightforward scheme. Households that are eligible for the scheme will receive free electricity up to 200 units per month. This means that households that consume less than 200 units of electricity per month will not have to pay any electricity bills.
For households that consume more than 200 units of electricity per month, the scheme will provide a subsidy on the cost of electricity. The subsidy will be equal to the cost of the first 200 units of electricity, so households will only have to pay for the cost of any electricity that they consume above 200 units.
