PM Surya Ghar Application Status:
How to Check It — with State-Wise Subsidy

PM Surya Ghar runs entirely through a national online portal. Your DISCOM, your solar vendor and the government all update the same application at different stages. That makes the status screen the single source of truth for where your central subsidy stands. State top-ups, where they exist, are often paid through a separate state or DISCOM channel — so you may need to track them separately.

The screen uses technical terms — feasibility, commissioning, CFA — and each stage depends on a different party. Knowing who is responsible for the current stage is the fastest way to move it forward.

1. Open the official portal. Visit pmsuryaghar.gov.in. Use only the official government portal — do not enter your details on lookalike websites.
2. Click Consumer Login. Select your state and electricity distribution company (DISCOM).
3. Enter your details. Your electricity consumer number (printed on your bill) and the mobile number you registered with. Enter the OTP sent to that mobile.
4. Open your application. On the dashboard, open the application tracking section — depending on the portal version it may be labelled “Track Application”, “My Application” or “Application Status”.
5. Read the stage and the remarks. Note the current stage, any remarks from the DISCOM and your Application Reference Number. Save a screenshot for your records.

Every application moves through the same broad sequence. The labels on your screen may differ slightly by state, but the order stays the same.

Stage sequence compiled from the national portal workflow and published consumer guides, 2026. Labels may vary by state. One rule matters above all. Do not start installation before feasibility approval. Installing early is one of the most common reasons subsidy claims are rejected.

Timelines vary by state, DISCOM workload and how complete your documents are. The figures below are indicative only.

Central subsidy. Subsidy status appears in the final stages of your dashboard. After the commissioning certificate, you submit bank details and the subsidy claim. The status then moves to processing and finally to credited. The central subsidy — known on the portal as Central Financial Assistance (CFA) — is paid by Direct Benefit Transfer into your bank account.

State top-up. Where a state pays an additional subsidy, it is usually released by the state nodal agency or DISCOM, not by MNRE — for example through UPNEDA in Uttar Pradesh, BREDA and the DISCOMs in Bihar, TEDA in Tamil Nadu, or the DISCOM-led aggregation route in Delhi and Odisha. It may arrive on a different date from the central amount, and in some states it is adjusted against the vendor's price instead of being paid to you. Ask your vendor in writing how the state top-up will reach you before you sign the order.

The central subsidy is the same across most of India. What changes by state is (a) whether you are in a special-category state that gets a higher central rate, and (b) whether your state government pays a top-up on top. Two households installing the same 3 kW system can receive very different totals depending on where they live.

7.1 Central subsidy (CFA) — applies everywhere

Rates: ₹30,000/kW for the first 2 kW and ₹18,000 for the 3rd kW (special category: ₹33,000/kW and ₹19,800). No additional CFA beyond 3 kW. *Special category: North-Eastern states, Sikkim, Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh, Jammu & Kashmir, Ladakh, Andaman & Nicobar, Lakshadweep. Source: MNRE PM Surya Ghar guidelines. Modules and cells must be domestically manufactured (DCR) for CFA.

7.2 States with an announced state top-up — combined figures = central CFA + state top-up, for an eligible residential consumer. “—” means the state has not set a per-size amount for that capacity in the sources reviewed.

Compiled from state cabinet decisions and news reports (Delhi Sep 2026; Bihar Aug 2026; Tamil Nadu Aug–Oct 2026; Odisha, Assam, Chhattisgarh, West Bengal, Maharashtra 2025–26) and UPNEDA. State schemes have their own budgets, caps and closing dates — confirm with the state agency before quoting.

7.3 Reported top-ups — verify before quoting. These are reported by industry guides but we could not confirm them from a government notification or news report as of October 2026.

7.4 States with central subsidy only (no general top-up found). Punjab, Madhya Pradesh, Karnataka, Kerala and most other states and UTs currently pay only the central CFA (up to ₹78,000). Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh, Sikkim and the North-Eastern states other than Assam get the higher special-category CFA (up to ₹85,800) but no confirmed state top-up.
