Two days after rolling out the Gruha Jyoti scheme offering free power up to 200 units to domestic consumers, Karnataka Energy Minister K J George said the enrolment to avail of the benefit will start on 15 June.
People who want to get this facility should enrol through the Seva Sindhu portal of the state government from 15 June to 5 July, he said. Applicants will be required to upload proof that they are residents of the building to avail of the benefit, he said.
According to George, the documents that need to be uploaded in the Seva Sindhu application to register for the scheme are any of the following: Aadhaar card, voter ID, title deed, lease, or rental agreement. The minister said that in the next two days, a policy will be introduced to include new buildings or new tenants.
As per the scheme, electricity supply companies will determine the average consumption of power in the last fiscal year, based on which each consumer’s average consumption will be calculated. If it is below 200 units, then another 10 percent will be added. This average consumption will be free of charge, and the rest of the consumption up to 200 units will be charged.
Supposing a consumer uses an average of 150 units of power, he or she will be eligible to get up to 165 units of electricity for free. Any excess consumption of up to 200 units will be charged. Anyone consuming more than 200 units will have to pay for the entire bill.
