Ahead of the Assembly election later this year, Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot announced 100 units of free electricity per month to all power subscribers — domestic or commercial.
He also announced a waiver of permanent fee, fuel surcharge and other fees on consumers using up to 200 units of electricity.
No consumer will get any bill for the first 100 units of electricity consumed. Gehlot made this announcement late Wednesday night.
With this announcement, subscribers with 100 units will have to pay nothing as power bill while those with 200 units will have to pay Rs 503 instead of present amount of Rs 1610. While on Rs 100, the subsidy is Rs 832 and subsidy over 200 units is Rs 1,107.
