What this scheme offers
Free electricity up to 200 units a month for domestic consumers in Jharkhand — the scheme was originally called Bijli Bill Mafi Yojana ('electricity bill waiver scheme'), a name that described exactly what it did, and has since been renamed Mukhyamantri Urja Khushhali Yojana without any reported change to the underlying benefit. Consumers within the 200-unit threshold get a zero bill; the mechanics of how usage above that threshold is billed are best confirmed with JBVNL directly.
Who is eligible
- Domestic electricity connection in Jharkhand.
- Monthly consumption within the scheme's free-unit threshold (200 units).
- Connection registered with JBVNL.
Documents required
- Electricity connection details (consumer number)
- Aadhaar card, where required for verification
How to apply
- No separate application in most cases — the benefit is generally applied automatically to eligible domestic connections.
- Check your monthly bill to confirm the free-unit benefit is being applied.
- If your bill doesn't reflect the expected waiver despite consuming within 200 units, contact your local JBVNL office.
- Ensure your connection details are current with JBVNL to avoid billing discrepancies.
