Are unpaid electricity bills keeping you up at night? You’re not alone. Across towns and villages, thousands of families have fallen behind—sometimes by months, even years. The government knows this burden is real, and that’s why it launched the Bijli Bill Mafi Yojana, a scheme designed to wipe out old dues and give people a fresh start.
This isn’t just about electricity—it’s about dignity. When the lights go off because of unpaid bills, daily life becomes a struggle. This scheme aims to restore power, literally and financially, to households that need it the most.
Why the Bijli Bill Mafi Yojana Matters
The main goal is simple: reduce the financial load on poor and middle-class families so they can use electricity without fear of mounting dues.
- Families with low income often can’t pay bills on time.
- Disconnections leave homes in darkness, disrupting children’s studies and daily life.
- With this scheme, those connections can be restored.
- It’s a step towards social justice—ensuring no family is left behind just because they couldn’t afford power.
Who Can Benefit From This Scheme?
The Bijli Bill Mafi Yojana is meant for people who genuinely need help:
- Families with low or irregular monthly income.
- Farmers in rural areas who rely on power for their livelihood.
- Small shopkeepers struggling with expenses.
Who’s not covered? Big industries and commercial users. The scheme is focused on households and small consumers only.
Documents You’ll Need to Apply
When applying, keep these papers ready:
- Aadhaar card
- Ration card
- Residence proof

The government has kept the process simple so that more people can access it without hassle.
