Karnataka launches free power scheme, 'Griha Jyoti Yojana'
  • Karnataka government has launched a free power scheme named ‘Gruha Jyothi scheme’ for providing free electricity up to 200 units a month.
  • The scheme also extends to tenants living on rent if their electricity consumption matches the scheme’s criteria.
  • Registration to the scheme is done on the Seva Sindhu portal under a special custom-made page.
  • The E-governance department has made the registration process very simple. The consumer must enter the electricity bill’s customer ID, their Aadhar number, and mobile number.
  • The registration simultaneously started at Karnataka One, Grama One and Bengaluru One centre across the state.
  • The beneficiaries will get a ‘zero bill’ starting August 1 if usage is within their entitlement.
