Government has announced an update to Gruhajyothi scheme

Tenants can continue to access benefits of scheme without hassle

Tenants can cancel their registration through Sevasindhu portal

The government has announced a significant update to the Gruhajyothi scheme, particularly benefiting users residing in rented houses. Under the revised scheme, tenants can now seamlessly avail themselves of the Gruhajyothi benefit even if they change their residence. This change aims to streamline the process for those living in rented houses, ensuring they can continue to access the benefits of the scheme without hassle.

Previously, tenants were required to cancel their registration for Gruhajyothi when vacating a house, leading to bureaucratic hurdles and time-consuming procedures. Often, individuals had to navigate through various offices to complete the cancellation process. However, with the recent policy shift, tenants can now conveniently cancel their registration through the Sevasindhu portal, eliminating the need for multiple office visits.

Moreover, the registration process for a new rental house has been simplified, allowing tenants to easily enroll for free electricity by providing their Aadhaar number. This initiative, facilitated by the Department of Energy, includes a de-linking mechanism to ensure a smooth transition between residences.

Overall, these updates signify the government’s commitment to enhancing the accessibility and convenience of the Gruhajyothi scheme, particularly for individuals residing in rented houses.

By reducing administrative burdens and simplifying procedures, the revised scheme aims to empower tenants with greater ease and efficiency in availing themselves of essential benefits.
