Registrations for the Gruha Jyothi scheme on Wednesday crossed the one-crore mark, nearly two weeks after the government invited applications.
The scheme will not have any deadline, and eligible beneficiaries can apply anytime, the energy department said.
However, only those who apply before July 25 will receive free electricity for July. Despite initial glitches, the registrations soon picked up. The scheme offers households up to 200 units of free electricity per month. Registrations can be done at Bangalore One, Grama One, Karnataka One offices, or online via Seva Sindhu portal.
