Chhattisgarh Mukhyamantri Bijli Bill Bhugtan Samadhan Yojana

Scheme Introduction: A Brief Overview

• The Mukhyamantri Bijli Bill Bhugtan Samadhan Yojana is a relief initiative launched by the Government of Chhattisgarh to help electricity consumers clear their long-pending power bills.
• The state government introduced this scheme on 12 March 2026 to support households and farmers who could not pay their electricity dues due to financial difficulties.
• Through this initiative, the government wants to make it easier for consumers to settle their old electricity bills and bring their connections back into regular billing.
• The Chhattisgarh government will implement and manage the scheme through the state power distribution company, Chhattisgarh State Power Distribution Company Limited, which is responsible for electricity supply and bill collection in the state.
• Under the scheme, the government will provide major financial relief by waiving the entire surcharge charged on delayed electricity payments.
• Consumers will also receive additional concessions on the outstanding amount, and they can pay the remaining balance either in a lump sum or through convenient installments.
• The scheme mainly targets BPL, domestic, and agricultural electricity consumers who have unpaid electricity bills from earlier years.
• By clearing their dues through this scheme, these consumers can regularize their electricity accounts and continue receiving government electricity subsidies in the future.
• Consumers can register for the scheme through multiple channels.
• They can visit the official website of the electricity department, use the Mor Bijlee App, or go to the nearest electricity office where the department may also organize special registration camps to help people apply easily.
• If any consumer faces problems while registering or paying the dues, they can contact the nearest electricity office operated by Chhattisgarh State Power Distribution Company Limited or seek assistance through the official support channels of the electricity department.
• This ensures that eligible consumers receive proper guidance and can benefit from the scheme without difficulty.
• Further, eligible persons can also avail the benefit of Half Bijli Bill Yojana in which subsidy on the amount of the electricity charges will be provided by the Chhattisgarh Government.

Scheme Benefits

• The government offers 100% waiver on the surcharge added to overdue electricity bills, which significantly reduces the total outstanding amount.
• Consumers receive an additional benefit of up to 10% on the principal outstanding amount, further lowering the payable balance.
• After the applicable relief, consumers can pay the remaining amount either in a single payment or through approved installment options.
• BPL consumers get flexible installment facilities, allowing them to clear dues in multiple installments depending on the size of the outstanding bill.
• Consumers who choose to pay the remaining amount in a lump sum receive an extra discount, encouraging faster settlement of dues.
• By clearing old dues under the scheme, eligible consumers can become eligible again for state electricity subsidy programs, including the Half Bijli Bill Scheme.
