Myth vs reality
Muft Bijli is a scheme name and policy ambition — not a promise that every Indian house gets panels at ₹0. Eligible homes can claim central CFA (commonly up to ₹78,000 for 3 kW) after commissioning. You still pay the installer the agreed amount first. Sealix explains the economics; we are not the government.
Quick table
| Claim | Reality |
|---|---|
| “Free solar for every home” | Only eligible residential connections; CFA reduces cost, does not erase it |
| “Government pays the whole plant” | Ceiling commonly ₹78,000 for 3 kW+ — rest is yours (or a loan) |
| “Zero bill forever” | Depends on size, usage, monsoon, fixed charges — not guaranteed every month |
| “Subsidy off the invoice today” | CFA is usually DBT after commissioning — timeline |

For eligible grid-connected residential plants on the common CFA path: ₹30,000 / ₹60,000 / up to ₹78,000 for 1 / 2 / 3 kW. Detail: subsidy amounts. Indicative net cost after that CFA: 3 kW price India.
Run your bill through the free home check. If the numbers are weak, wait. If they are strong, apply only on pmsuryaghar.gov.in with an empanelled vendor — how to apply.

No. Eligible homes can get CFA up to ₹78,000 for 3 kW; you still fund the plant. Not every household qualifies or should install.
Policy language around low/zero bills up to ~300 units/month for adequately sized plants — not free equipment and not a guaranteed permanent zero bill for all.
Possible in some months for some homes; not promised. Fixed charges, night load, and monsoon matter.
No. Sealix is a private advisory. Official scheme: pmsuryaghar.gov.in.
