About Karnataka Gruha Jyothi Yojana 2024

Electricity is a valuable resource that requires infrastructure, generation, transmission, and maintenance, all of which come at a cost. However, it's worth noting that Karnataka govt. will start Gruha Jyoti Scheme and provide electricity subsidy to assist people and reduce electricity costs for low-income households. 
This Griha Jyothi programs would ensure that basic electricity needs are met for vulnerable individuals and families. Moreover, it would ensure that people develop a habit of saving electricity by reducing their monthly power usage to below 200 units. The gruha Jyoti scheme announcement is one of the pre poll promises by Smt. Priyanka Gandhi Vadra along with gruha lakshmi yojana, yuva nidhi scheme, gruhini shakti etc.
No bill would be charged if the monthly consumption of electricity of a family is less than 200 units.  

Karnataka Free Power Scheme Guidelines Issued

The Karnataka government on 5th June 2023 issued detailed guidelines for the implementation of the Gruha Jyothi scheme - which promises free electricity to all households that use below 200 units of power every month. The order issued by the Karnataka Energy Department noted that the free power supply with an upper limit of 200 units will be dependent on the monthly average consumption of a household.

This average will be calculated by the electricity supply companies, based on the power used by a household in 2022-23. Power usage of up to 10% more than the average monthly usage calculated will be free for the household. For instance, a house with a monthly average usage of 100 units of power, will get free power supply for 110 units of power.

If the consumer exceeds this limit, s/he will have to pay for the excess units used. The excess consumption will be the ‘net bill’ for such consumers. This will be reflected in bills generated from the month of August. All users who use 200 units or more will have to pay the full bill amount.
