Portal tracking · India
If you searched “PM Surya Ghar application status” or “how to check”, your file lives on pmsuryaghar.gov.in — not WhatsApp screenshots. Sealix is not the portal; we explain the login path, stage meanings, and who moves a stall.

Fast triage: (1) Log in at pmsuryaghar.gov.in with the registered mobile + consumer number → open Track / Application dashboard. (2) Waiting on money, not stages? That is subsidy status, not this page. (3) Stuck at DISCOM inspection pending? Jump to inspection blockers.
Installers cannot see your status without your credentials. Do not share OTPs. Login fails? Portal login problems.
“Inspection pending” sits after installation and before the net meter. The portal has accepted that the plant is built; the DISCOM or its authorised agency now has to visit and confirm the install matches the sanctioned capacity and approved equipment. Nothing downstream — net meter, commissioning, subsidy DBT — can start until this clears.
The four usual blockers, in rough order:
What to carry when you follow up: application number, consumer / service connection number, installation date, vendor name and the kW sanctioned. Escalation order: vendor proof of upload → section / sub-division office → DISCOM rooftop nodal officer → grievance route on pmsuryaghar.gov.in. Once inspection passes, the next wait is the net meter, then the subsidy clock — timelines: how long subsidy takes.
DISCOM-specific context: TGSPDCL · BESCOM · MSEDCL · TANGEDCO.
Application status is visible only inside the consumer login you created on pmsuryaghar.gov.in — typically mobile OTP plus your electricity consumer number and DISCOM selection. After login, open your registered application; the dashboard shows the current stage, timestamps and any pending action.
Installers and advisors cannot see your status without your credentials. Do not share OTPs or passwords. If login fails, use the portal recovery path — duplicate applications for the same connection create their own delays. Login troubleshooting: portal login problems.

Exact labels change when the portal is updated, but most files rhyme with this order:
The discipline that prevents stalls: no installation before feasibility shows approval, and no final payment to vendor before net meter and commissioning. Preventable errors: application mistakes.
Pending with DISCOM / under feasibility. Your file is on utility time — transformer checks, sanctioned load match, or deemed-approval queues. Verify DISCOM and consumer number on the application match your bill exactly. If unchanged for weeks beyond local norms, call the DISCOM rooftop solar desk with application ID and consumer number.
Returned for correction / rejected. Read the reason text if shown. Wrong DISCOM, name mismatch, capacity above sanctioned load, non-empanelled vendor and non-ALMM modules are frequent. Fix once; do not open a second parallel application.
Pending vendor action. The empanelled installer has not uploaded agreements, photographs or commissioning documents. Your leverage is the contract payment schedule — chase the vendor with written requests and dates.
Pending inspection or net meter. Physical utility steps — often the longest calendar segment. Seasonal demand and meter agency appointments dominate. This is normal utility speed, not portal bugs.
Commissioning submitted / under verification. Wait for DISCOM or portal acceptance of the commissioning report. Subsidy DBT clocks usually start from accepted commissioning, not from the day panels were mounted.
How long is normal. Commonly 7–21 working days after the vendor’s upload is complete. Peak season, meter shortages and understaffed sub-divisions can stretch it to 30–45 days in some areas. Under three weeks, wait; beyond that, act — after confirming the upload as described above.
“Inspection done, but status not updated.” Usually either the inspector noted a defect (earthing, cable routing, capacity mismatch, non-ALMM label) that has to be fixed first, or the sub-division has not entered the report yet. Ask the DISCOM office for the inspection remark in writing; if there is no defect, request the data entry with the inspection date.
Homeowners often conflate “my application looks finished” with “subsidy should be in the bank.” Application status tracks feasibility through meter and commissioning. Subsidy status is the money step: DBT after commissioning acceptance and valid bank seeding.
You can be waiting on subsidy while the application stage reads complete — for example if bank name mismatch, dormant account, or commissioning upload lag. Treat payment delays as a separate checklist from DISCOM feasibility delays.
Escalation order when stuck: vendor proof of upload → DISCOM nodal officer with IDs → portal grievance route published on pmsuryaghar.gov.in. Keep application number, consumer number and commissioning date for every call.
Status screens rarely explain why DISCOM time is slow — only that it is pending. Local process guides help set expectations: MSEDCL, BESCOM, TGSPDCL, and state hubs under areas. Net metering rules affect life after commissioning: net metering in India.
Load and sanctioned load mismatches stall feasibility early — see load enhancement in India if your quote exceeded the bill figure.
Most long stalls trace back to decisions made before registration: wrong utility, oversized plant vs sanctioned load, vendor not empanelled, or install started early. A twenty-minute bill review beats three months of portal anxiety.
Use the free home check to judge whether solar fits your consumption and tariff before you lock a vendor on the portal. Sealix does not access your application; we help you decide if the project should exist at all.
Sizing before you register: 2 kW price · how many panels for 3 kW · on-grid vs off-grid vs hybrid · solar battery price.
We are an independent advisory, not the government, not your DISCOM and not your installer. We cannot check or change your application status, expedite feasibility, or release subsidy. Anyone asking for a fee to “speed up” portal status should be treated with suspicion. Official status always lives inside your consumer login on pmsuryaghar.gov.in.
Log in to the consumer account on pmsuryaghar.gov.in with the mobile number and electricity consumer number you used at registration. Open your application dashboard; the portal shows the current stage and any action required from you, the vendor or the DISCOM. Status is visible only inside your login — installers cannot look it up without your credentials, and you should not share OTPs. If access fails, use the portal's recovery flow rather than creating a duplicate application for the same connection.
Most residential files move through registration and document upload, DISCOM feasibility or deemed approval, empanelled vendor assignment and agreement, installation with photograph uploads, DISCOM inspection, net meter installation and commissioning report acceptance, then subsidy release by DBT after commissioning is verified. Exact labels on the portal vary by state and DISCOM; treat the sequence as feasibility before install, meter before subsidy, not the reverse.
Usually your file is waiting on distribution company feasibility, load or transformer review, or meter scheduling — utility-speed steps the portal cannot bypass. Confirm you selected the correct DISCOM and consumer number, that sanctioned load and proposed kW match your bill, and that the vendor has submitted all required documents. Escalate to the DISCOM rooftop solar nodal office with your application ID if the stage is unchanged well beyond published timelines.
Inspection pending means the plant is installed and the vendor has marked it ready, and the file now waits for the DISCOM (or its authorised agency) to physically verify the install against sanctioned capacity. First confirm with your vendor that the installation details, photographs and any work-completion report are fully uploaded — an incomplete upload is the most common hidden cause. Then call or visit the DISCOM section or sub-division rooftop solar desk with your application number and consumer number and ask for an inspection date. If nothing moves well beyond the published timeline, escalate to the DISCOM nodal officer and then the grievance route on pmsuryaghar.gov.in. Sealix cannot move DISCOM inspection.
Commonly 7 to 21 working days after the vendor uploads installation details, and longer in peak months or where meter stock is short. If inspection has shown pending for more than about three weeks, confirm the vendor's upload is complete, then write to the DISCOM rooftop solar or net-metering office with your application ID and consumer number and ask for an inspection date in writing. If there is no reply in about ten working days, raise a grievance on the DISCOM portal and on pmsuryaghar.gov.in, then escalate to the state nodal agency or the MNRE helpline 1800-180-3333.
Yes. Application status tracks progress through feasibility, installation, inspection and net metering. Subsidy status is the payment step after commissioning is accepted and bank details validate — central CFA credited by DBT. An application can show advanced stages while subsidy payment is still pending because commissioning proof or bank KYC is incomplete. See the dedicated subsidy status guide for payment stalls.
Common causes include wrong DISCOM or consumer number, name mismatch between Aadhaar bill and bank, non-empanelled vendor, plant capacity above sanctioned load without enhancement path, non-ALMM equipment, or install dates before approval. Each return shows a reason in the portal when officials enter it — fix the root cause once rather than reapplying duplicate files.
No. Sealix is an independent advisory, not the national portal operator, not your DISCOM and not your installer. We cannot log in as you or move your file. We can help you interpret what a stage likely means and whether your bill and quote made sense before you applied — use the free home check before you commit, not after a stall.
