In force

The order of 31 March 2020 continues “till further order”. The State continued it in December 2021.

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 lifeline domestic connection with WBSEDCL, CESC or IPCL.
  • The connected load is 0.3 kW or less.

What you get

  • Up to 75 units a quarter (25 a month), you pay nothing. The meter rent is also free.

If you use more than the limit

The order does not say what happens above 75 units. There is no lifeline rate above 75 units, so expect to move out of Hasir Alo.

How to apply

  1. We found no separate application on the WBSEDCL website. Ask your WBSEDCL office about a lifeline connection.
  2. Read the order. Open the official page
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

  • The order does not say which tariff applies above 75 units a quarter.
