Quick answer: A PM Surya Ghar application that is “stuck at DISCOM” is not one problem. First identify the exact stage: application transfer, technical feasibility, document correction, installation, inspection, net metering, commissioning, portal synchronisation, bank details, or subsidy. Then contact the organisation that owns that stage with the application ID, dates, and missing action.

  • Portal/IT issue: consumer details, upload, application transfer, editing, or status sync.
  • DISCOM issue: feasibility, inspection, net metering, commissioning, metering/billing.
  • Vendor issue: installation, documents, serials, testing, completion evidence.
  • Subsidy issue: bank details, eligibility, payment amount, or post-commissioning processing.

When DISCOM and portal blame each other

  1. Save a dated screenshot of the portal stage.
  2. Get the DISCOM/service reference for the same application.
  3. Ask the DISCOM: “What exact stage is complete, on what date, and what reference/data push proves it?”
  4. Ask portal support: “Which exact input/action is still missing from this application ID?”
  5. Put both answers in one grievance rather than opening unrelated tickets.
  6. If the vendor is the missing owner, ask for the specific document/installation completion submission they made.

Use the right grievance door

The National Rooftop Solar grievance page distinguishes scheme questions from portal/IT problems and publishes DISCOM contact/grievance details. Its implementation material also identifies delays in feasibility, net metering and commissioning as DISCOM issues. That is why “application pending” is too vague: your complaint should name the exact stage.

What counts as fixed

Do not stop when somebody says “done”. The portal and the stage-owning DISCOM record should agree, and you should have the acknowledgement/reference for the completed step. Then move to the next stage.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know who is actually blocking my PM Surya Ghar application?
Identify the exact workflow stage and last completion timestamp. The National Rooftop Solar portal separates consumer/IT issues, DISCOM issues such as feasibility/net metering/commissioning, and subsidy-related issues. Ask the party that owns that stage for the missing action or completion reference.
What if DISCOM says the portal is the problem and the portal says DISCOM?
Send one chronology containing the portal application ID, DISCOM/service reference, current stage screenshot, and the last completed action. Ask each side to name the pending action and owner. If the DISCOM says it completed a stage, request the completion/data-push reference and use it in the portal grievance.
What if inspection is done but net meter or commissioning is still pending?
Treat inspection, net metering, commissioning, and subsidy as separate stages. Keep the inspection acknowledgement, ask the DISCOM for the next stage/reference and grievance contact, and do not accept a vendor statement that the project is “complete” while the utility stage is still open.
Where can I escalate a portal problem?
The National Rooftop Solar grievance page lists separate contacts for scheme-related support and portal/IT problems, and the portal publishes DISCOM contact/grievance information. Use the route that matches the actual blocked stage.
