The central rooftop scheme pays a fixed amount based on the sanctioned capacity: Rs. 30,000 for the first kilowatt, Rs. 60,000 for two kilowatts and Rs. 78,000 for three kilowatts and above. The benefit is for residential consumers with a valid electricity connection in their own name.
How the process runs
Registration happens on the national portal, followed by technical feasibility approval from your DISCOM, installation by a registered vendor, inspection and net meter installation. The subsidy is credited directly to the consumer bank account, usually within thirty to forty five days of commissioning.
What people get wrong
Two mistakes are common. The first is signing up for a capacity larger than the sanctioned load without applying for load enhancement. The second is paying the full amount before the plant is inspected. Keep the final instalment linked to net meter installation.
