PM Surya Ghar Yojana: Complete Eligibility & Application Guide

What is PM Surya Ghar Yojana?

PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana is a central government scheme that gives households a direct cash subsidy for installing rooftop solar. The subsidy is paid straight into your bank account (DBT — Direct Benefit Transfer) once your system is installed and net-metered by your DISCOM.

The goal is simple: bring your monthly electricity bill down to near-zero while reducing the country's dependence on grid power generated from fossil fuels.

Who is eligible?

• You own a residential property with a suitable, largely shade-free rooftop.
• You have a valid electricity connection in your name.
• Your roof has enough structural strength to support panel mounting (confirmed during a site survey).

Commercial and industrial properties are generally not covered under this particular residential scheme — separate incentives may apply, and our team can advise what's relevant to your building.

Documents required

• Latest electricity bill (with consumer/account number)
• Proof of address (matching the electricity connection)
• Bank account details for DBT credit
• PAN or Aadhaar for identity verification
