In today’s era, along with rising inflation, the electricity bill has also become a big problem for the common man. Especially for middle-class families, electricity, gas cylinder, and other expenses make their financial condition even worse. Keeping this in mind, the central and state governments have started the electricity bill waiver scheme. The purpose of this scheme is to relieve the poor and farmers from the burden of the electricity bill, as well as to give the benefit of free electricity up to 100 to 200 units.
Objective of the Electricity Bill Waiver Scheme
The main objective of this government scheme is to get rid of electricity bills for poor families and farmers. Many times, people are not able to deposit the bill, due to which they have to pay interest and a penalty. Under this scheme, the government waives old bills and also gives discounts. This scheme, run by Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath in Uttar Pradesh, is very popular. Apart from this, such schemes are also applicable in Madhya Pradesh, Bihar, and other states.
Who can avail themselves of the benefits of this scheme
This scheme is not for everyone, but only those who fulfill certain conditions can take advantage of it:
Mainly, families living below the BPL, i.e., poverty line, will get their benefit.
Houses in which electricity consumption is less than 1000 watts are eligible for this scheme.
The applicant must be a permanent resident of the same state where this scheme has been implemented.
Those who have old bills outstanding can also take advantage of this scheme.
