“Under the scheme, the Jammu and Kashmir government is providing an additional subsidy of Rs 3,000 for One KiloWatt peak, Rs 6,000 for two KW peaks, and Rs 9,000 for three KW peaks,” he said.
Meanwhile, appealing to consumers to deposit outstanding amounts of bills to avoid disconnections, he added, “The consumers who have electricity dues pending for a long time must take advantage of the amnesty scheme and start depositing the dues; otherwise, action will be initiated against them in the coming days.”
The JPDCL has advised domestic consumers with huge electricity dues to deposit the outstanding bills under the scheme, which is coming to an end by March 31, 2025.

The scheme, launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in February 2024, aims to install rooftop solar systems in one crore households across India by March 2027.
