This initiative has brought relief to those farmers who were unable to pay their electricity bills due to financial constraints.
How to get the benefit of these schemes
To avail the benefits of the scheme, consumers can register through the departmental section/sub-section office, Vidyut Sakhi, Jan Seva Kendra, or departmental website www.uppcl.org. Latest electricity bill and mobile number will be mandatory for registration. Payment can also be made through these means in lump sum or in installments.

If the consumer does not make the payment within the stipulated time limit after registration, he will not get the benefit of the scheme and his surcharge will be increased. The scheme also provides a solution to disputed and pending cases in the court, in which the consumer will have to promise to withdraw his case after making the payment.
