In force

WBERC has not issued a tariff order for 2026-27. The State’s direction says the subsidy continues until the next notification or tariff order.

Last checked against the official texts: 15 October 2026.

Tick what is true for your home

The check runs on your phone. We do not ask for your name, consumer number or Aadhaar, and nothing leaves your device.

Who qualifies

  • Your connection is a WBSEDCL domestic connection, rural or urban.
  • The connection is not in the old DPL area. CESC and IPCL homes are not covered.

What you get

  • The State pays part of the rate of each slab (2025-26 rates).
  • The State also pays Rs 10 of the Rs 30 a kVA fixed charge each month.
  • Your bill shows the tariff amount, the State subsidy and the net amount.

If you use more than the limit

The subsidy is for homes with monthly use up to 300 units. We show no subsidy above 900 units in a quarter. No official text says what happens above the limit.

How to apply

  1. You do not apply. WBSEDCL shows the subsidy in the bill.
  2. Read the WBSEDCL tariff summary for 2025-26 (page 2). Open the official page

News reports say the new State Government promised a zero bill up to 200 units a month, and monthly bills from January 2027. We found no official order for either.

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.

What we could not confirm

  • No official text says what happens above 300 units a month.
