Energy Department Survey Finds 82,000 Households May Lose Gruha Jyothi Benefits
The Energy Department's door-to-door survey for the Gruha Jyothi scheme has found that around 82,000 households have either not provided required documents or requested more time. These households risk losing scheme benefits after being informed by meter readers. The survey, launched on July 1, has completed over 8.7 million verifications out of 16.5 million beneficiaries. Challenges include server issues and limited meter readers, with no current plans to extend the August 31 deadline.
