When relocating to a new house, you can link your Gruha Jyothi benefits to an RR number not currently associated with Aadhaar. To ensure a smooth transition, the previous resident must delink the RR number from their Aadhaar account. Once this is done, you can update the RR number linked to your Aadhaar and continue enjoying the benefits of the Gruha Jyothi scheme at your new address. The previous resident’s role is crucial in this process, and we encourage them to complete the delinking process promptly to facilitate a smooth transition for the new resident.
Energy Minister KJ George says
More than 1.56 crore residents across the state have benefited from the Gruha Jyothi scheme. This initiative has been especially impactful for economically disadvantaged groups, enabling many to redirect savings from electricity bills toward essential needs such as children’s education and elder care. Under Chief Minister Siddaramaiah’s leadership, we have delivered on our commitment. The introduction of the delink facility was a response to public demand, and we are pleased to now offer this service to all. The Gruha Jyothi scheme provides significant savings on electricity bills, which can be redirected to other essential needs, making it a valuable resource for our beneficiaries.
Mahantesh Bilagi, Managing Director, BESCOM says
