How to Read This Data
- Subsidy is credited directly to the applicant’s bank account after commissioning and DISCOM inspection — never routed through a vendor.
- Some states announce additional top-up incentives from time to time. Verify current state position with your DISCOM.
- Scheme rules are periodically amended; confirm against the national portal before financial planning.
