bijli : Electricity is a basic necessity in every household today, but rising power bills often become a burden for many poor and middle-class families. Recognizing this concern, several state governments across India have introduced the Bijli Bill Mafi Yojana, a scheme aimed at waiving off outstanding electricity dues for eligible consumers.
In 2025, the updated Bijli Bill Mafi Yojana List has been released, making it easier for applicants to check their eligibility and current waiver status. This article gives you a complete overview of the scheme, how to check your name on the list, eligibility criteria, benefits, documents required, and more.

The scheme provides full or partial relief from electricity dues for eligible low-consumption households, laborers, farmers, and BPL cardholders.
