Due to these reasons your PM Surya Ghar Yojana may stop

The Government of India is continuously promoting solar energy through several schemes and subsidy programs. The plan aims to achieve 500 GW of non-fossil fuel energy capacity by 2030. To promote the use of solar energy, the government has launched PM Suryaghar Yojana – Solar Rooftop Scheme. Under this scheme, subsidy is provided for installation of solar panel system so that more and more people can adopt solar energy.

There are certain rules and guidelines that need to be followed to avail the subsidy. Sometimes non-compliance of these rules may make the beneficiary ineligible for subsidy. In this article we will talk about the reasons due to which your subsidy may be stopped.

Know the reasons why your solar subsidy has been cancelled.

To get the subsidy, you have to install the solar system within the specified time frame. Failure to do so may stop your subsidy. Always provide accurate information in your application form and make sure the information matches all your documents. Any discrepancy in your name in the electricity bill or other documents can cause delays or problems in receiving the subsidy.

You must have enough space and own the house to install the solar panel system. Tenants are not eligible for subsidy under this scheme. To avail the subsidy you must have an individual bank account and ensure that the name on your electricity bill matches the name in your bank account and other documents. Subsidy under this scheme is available only for on-grid solar systems. If you want to avail subsidy then make sure you install an on-grid system.

What to do if you don’t get subsidy

Once you apply for PM Suryaghar Yojana and your application is accepted then you should wait for 30 days for the subsidy to be credited to your bank account. If subsidy is not received after 30 days, you will have to contact the seller from whom you had installed the solar system.
