Fast triage: Plan ₹30,000 / ₹60,000 / ₹78,000 for 1 / 2 / 3 kW+. Still paying ₹2,000+/month after free units? Check your bill. Mostly covered by free units? Do not size to the subsidy ceiling.

Do not add a Punjab state cash line unless a live energy-department notice matches your date. National: subsidy amounts · loan: PM Surya Ghar loan · process: PSPCL guide.

Select PSPCL on the national portal when that name is on your bill (Ludhiana, Amritsar, Mohali / SAS Nagar, etc.). Chandigarh UT connections use CED — see Chandigarh. Cities: Ludhiana.
Central CFA ₹30,000 / ₹60,000 / ₹78,000 for 1 / 2 / 3 kW+. Treat any extra state cash claim as unproven until a current notice matches your file.
It can for low-pay and fully covered homes. Size to what you still pay after free units.
