Other schemes we do not check yet
- MUKHY Yojana (Jharkhand). JSERC’s 2026-27 order confirms that the State pays the bills of small home connections. No official text we could read gives the unit limit, so we do not check it. JSERC Tariff Order FY 2026-27 (JBVNL)
- 150 free units a month (Rajasthan). RERC’s 2026-27 order says the discoms started a 150-unit scheme for consumers registered under the free-electricity scheme. We did not find an order with the full rules, so we do not check it. Bijli Mitra 150-unit portal (JVVNL)
How we check
Watch for scams. No official scheme asks you to pay a fee, give an OTP or open a link in a text message. Use only the official links on this page. If someone asks for money to "activate" free units, do not pay.
We read each Government Order, regulator order or discom circular, and link it on the scheme page. We do not use news reports for the rules. Where a news report says something the official texts do not, the page tells you.
