Quick answer: Do not pay an unofficial agent to 'release' the subsidy. Open the official application and note the exact status or rejection code. Then match applicant name, electricity connection, installation capacity, registered vendor, equipment details, inspection or commissioning record and bank information to the scheme that applied on the relevant date.
Solar-subsidy rejection usually traces to applicant, connection, vendor, equipment, inspection or bank-data mismatch. Use the portal status and scheme version—not installer guesses.
