The Tamil Nadu Generation and Distribution Corporation (Tangedco) began special camps for linking consumer numbers with Aadhaar numbers on Monday.
The camps, intended for new enrolments as well as consumers who wish to change their details, are organised at Tangedco’s 2,811 section offices.
Electricity Minister V Senthil Balaji told reporters that even if a person has multiple connections, linking them with their Aadhaar number would not cause any change in status and that they would continue to get 100 units of free power.
The camps will function from 10.30am to 5.15pm till December 31 except on festival days.
