Delhi government’s free electricity scheme is not available by default anymore. After the recently announced changes, consumers will have to apply on their own to reap the benefits of Delhi power subsidy. While the Arvind Kejriwal-led Delhi government has announced many ways to apply for this electricity subsidy, consumers can opt for any way.
If one wants to avail the subsidy facility, they need to apply before the month ends. For example, if you want the subsidy to start from next month, you need to submit your application before October 30, 2022.
Another way to apply for power subsidy in Delhi is by scanning a QR code. This code will be given with your pre-filled subsidy application form along with your electricity bill. After this, you will be redirected to your WhatsApp, where a pre-filled subsidy application form will be shown. Confirm the details by selecting ‘YES’ and your confirmation will then be sent to you.
Along with the electricity bill, there is a consent form given that users can fill and submit at either the nearest billing centre or customer care centre of the electricity board. The filling and submission of this form is an indication of one’s intent to avail the electricity subsidy.
