Subsequently, Government of India launched Pradhan Mantri Sahaj Bijli Har Ghar Yojana – SAUBHAGYA in October, 2017 with the objective of achieving universal household electrification by providing electricity connections to all un- electrified households in the country.
Under SAUBHAGYA, electricity connection was provided free of cost to all un-electrified poor households, whereas for non-poor rural households, an amount of Rs.500 was to be recovered by the DISCOMs/Power Departments from the beneficiary in ten equal installments in their subsequent electricity bills.

Further, the details of households electrified since the launch of SAUBHAGYA in October, 2017 including additional households sanctioned under DDUGJY till 31.03.2022 State-wise (including West Bengal) are furnished at Annexure-II.
