The correct option is D

(d) Aadhaar number is compulsory for obtaining electricity connection under Saubhagya


Government of India has launched a new scheme namely Pradhan Mantri Sahaj Bijli Har Ghar Yojana (Saubhagya) with the objective to provide electricity connections to all remaining un-electrified households in rural as well as urban areas.

This scheme is for all the un-electrified households in all the villages and for all the poor households in all the towns in any of the State/UTs of the country.

There is no upfront fee or charges for obtaining electricity connection under Saubhagya. Non-poor households will have to pay 10 installments of Rs. 50 each along with the bill each month (total Rs. 500)

Aadhaar number is not compulsory for obtaining electricity connection.
