Who can apply for PM Surya Ghar subsidy

| Roof | Technically suitable rooftop with safe access and shadow assessment |
| Vendor | Choose a vendor shown through the official portal workflow |

PM Surya Ghar subsidy, loan and ≤10 kW rule
The programme offers central financial assistance according to the approved capacity and current guidelines. The latest financing reference mentions collateral-free nationalised-bank loans at a concessional 5.75% rate for the present, subject to lender terms. Feasibility approval has been waived or deemed for systems up to 10 kW, but local DISCOM inspection, safety and net-metering requirements still matter.
| PM Surya Ghar subsidy loan | PM Surya official record |

| Feasibility up to 10 kW | Waived or deemed under the reported update, subject to the remaining technical process |
| Net metering | DISCOM approval, meter installation and commissioning remain relevant |
| Subsidy | Released through DBT after the prescribed installation and verification workflow |
| Jan Samarth | Paperless loan integration is available as a financing facilitation reference |
How to apply on the PM Surya Ghar national portal
Use the official National Portal link in the final Important Links section. Keep the consumer number, mobile, bank and roof details ready. The actual subsidy timeline starts after the portal, vendor and DISCOM steps are completed, so do not treat registration as approval.
- Register with the electricity consumer number and mobile number.
- Select the DISCOM and submit the rooftop-solar application.
- Choose an eligible vendor through the portal route and confirm system details.
- Complete installation, inspection and net-metering or commissioning steps.
- Upload or confirm the required documents and bank details.
- Track subsidy status on the portal and save every acknowledgement.
| Document | Why it is needed |
|---|---|
| Electricity bill or consumer number | Identifies the connection and DISCOM |
| Aadhaar or identity record | Supports applicant verification where requested |
| Bank account details | Used for DBT subsidy processing |
| Installation and commissioning record | Supports completion and subsidy release |
| Net-meter or DISCOM documents | Evidence of the prescribed grid-connection process |
PM Surya Ghar practical mistakes to avoid
Do not select a vendor only because of a low quotation. Compare the approved system capacity, warranty, inverter and safety equipment. Do not assume a 10 kW feasibility waiver removes every DISCOM step. If the portal, vendor or subsidy status is stuck, record the application number and raise a complaint through the official grievance route.
| Problem | Practical action |
|---|---|
| Portal registration fails | Recheck consumer number, mobile and DISCOM selection |
| Vendor asks for an unofficial fee | Do not pay; retain the quote and report through the official route |
| Subsidy is pending | Check commissioning, bank DBT and DISCOM verification status |
| Net-metering delay | Contact the concerned DISCOM with the application number |
| Loan question | Use the official financing route; lender terms control sanction and repayment |
