Apart from this, no surcharge, permanent charge, electricity fee will have to be paid on electricity up to 200 units. CM Ashok Gehlot has announced this late on Wednesday night.
Till now only domestic consumers used to get 100 units of free electricity, now consumers of every category will get its benefit. You will get 100 units free even if you have a commercial connection. The first 100 units of electricity will be given free of cost to the families who consume more than 100 units per month, that is, no electricity charges will have to be paid for the first 100 units, no matter how much the bill comes. Consumers who consume electricity up to 200 units per month will get the first 100 units of electricity free, along with fixed charges up to 200 units, fuel surcharge and all other charges will be waived and will be paid by the state government.
Late on Wednesday, CM Ashok Gehlot made a big announcement. Now every category of electricity consumer will get free electricity up to 100 units. Till now there was a provision to get 100 units of electricity free only to the domestic consumers.
Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot has now made a strategy to make government schemes a tool to settle political equations. After the end of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Ajmer rally and Sachin Pilot’s ultimatum on three demands, Gehlot has tried to divert attention from both by making a big announcement.
Gehlot made several populist announcements in the budget this time. From the announcement of new districts to free electricity to farmers and smart phones to women, dozens of free schemes have been started. PM Modi also criticized these free schemes of Gehlot government today.
