Karnataka modifies the rules governing the “Gruha Jyothi” scheme

Karnataka modifies the rules governing the “Gruha Jyothi” scheme, which provides free electricity for consumption up to 200 units. Under the modifications, the government has decided to eliminate the 10% additional subsidy on average usage and instead introduce an allocation of 10 extra free units, irrespective of usage, up to the 200-unit limit.
