PM Surya Ghar Subsidy: Eligibility, Application, and Payment Checklist

Do not treat a vendor’s subsidy promise as cash already received. The safe approach is to follow the current official PM Surya Ghar portal and DISCOM process from application through installation, inspection, metering and bank-credit status.

Keep these records from day one

  • Electricity consumer number and sanctioned load details.
  • Portal application and feasibility or approval references.
  • Vendor quotation and exact equipment schedule.
  • Invoices and milestone payments.
  • Installation photos, serial numbers and commissioning records.
  • Metering / inspection status and bank details used for subsidy.
Action flow

Track the subsidy through the official workflow

Portal stages can change, so use the live portal status rather than an old checklist as the final authority.

1

Verify eligibility and consumer data. Make sure the electricity account and residential details match the current scheme requirements.

2

Complete the required pre-installation step. Follow the official portal and DISCOM feasibility or approval process before irreversible spending.

3

Use the permitted vendor and documented design process. Keep the exact module, inverter, structure and protection schedule.

4

Finish inspection, commissioning and metering. Save every portal and DISCOM reference instead of relying on the installer’s dashboard alone.

5

Track subsidy status independently. Verify bank details and resolve rejected or pending stages through the official portal or authority route; never pay an intermediary to “release” the subsidy.

Pay by completed milestones

Tie payments to survey and design, material delivery, installation quality, inspection or commissioning and document handover. Do not make the final project economics depend on a subsidy that has not yet been officially approved and credited.
