Incomplete documents rejection ka doosra sabse bada reason hai. Application portal pe jaane se pehle yeh sab ready rakhein — ek bhi document missing hone par application automatically hold mein chali jaati hai.

• Aadhaar Card — dono sides: Front aur back dono required. Sirf front scan karne par application reject hoti hai. Name exactly waise hona chahiye jaise electricity bill mein hai.
• Latest Electricity Bill: Last 3 mahine ka bill. Consumer number clearly visible hona chahiye. Bill aapke naam pe hona chahiye — dusre ke naam ka bill accepted nahi hoga.
• Bank Account Details — Aadhaar-linked: Account number aur IFSC code. Account wahi hona chahiye jo Aadhaar se linked hai — doosre account mein subsidy transfer nahi hogi.
• PAN Card: ₹50,000 se upar subsidy ke liye mandatory — 3 kW system pe hamesha required hoga. Minor differences se rejection hoti hai — name exactly match karna chahiye.
• Passport Size Photograph: Recent — 6 months se purani nahi. White background preferred.
• Property Ownership Proof: Property tax receipt, registry, ya sale deed. Registered lessee ke liye lease agreement + owner NOC.

• Housing society flat (Maharashtra — Adani/Tata area): Society NOC ya resolution required — agar panels common rooftop pe lagne hain.
• Joint property: Co-owner ki NOC + signature required — akele apply karne par rejection guaranteed.
• Tenant (rented property): Landlord ki written NOC + property document — NOC mein clearly likha ho ki solar installation aur subsidy claim ki permission hai.
• Uttar Pradesh applicants: UPNEDA portal pe additional state-specific documents required — pmsuryaghar.gov.in ke saath UPNEDA portal bhi check karein.
• Existing solar system: Pehle se system laga hua hai toh DISCOM se eligibility confirm karein — sab existing installations qualify nahi karti.

Public sector banks ne August 2025 tak 3,05,667 applications reject ki hain. Rejection ke 8 main reasons hain — aur sab pehle se avoid kiye ja sakte hain.

1. pmsuryaghar.gov.in pe register karein. Mobile number se OTP verification. Consumer number daalo — yeh aapke electricity bill pe hota hai. Account ban jaata hai. Time: 10 minutes
2. Rooftop solar application fill karein. System capacity choose karein (1, 2, ya 3 kW). Documents upload karein. MNRE empanelled installer select karein — portal pe list available hai. Time: 20–30 minutes (documents ready hain toh)
3. DISCOM feasibility approval. DISCOM aapki application review karta hai — sanctioned load check karta hai, technical feasibility approve karta hai. SMS aata hai approval pe. Typically 7–15 working days
4. Installation + net meter application. MNRE empanelled installer solar system lagata hai. Net metering application DISCOM mein file hoti hai. DISCOM inspection aata hai — net meter install hota hai. Installation: 1–3 days · Net meter approval: 15–30 days
5. Commissioning report submit + subsidy disburse. Installer commissioning report portal pe upload karta hai. MNRE verify karta hai. Subsidy seedha Aadhaar-linked bank account mein aa jaati hai. Disbursement: 15–30 days after commissioning report

1. 38% rejection rate ka reason technical nahi hai — documents ki galti, wrong installer, aur name mismatch — yeh sab pehle se fix ho sakti hain.
2. MNRE empanelled installer check karna sabse pehla kaam hai — non-empanelled installer se installation karne par subsidy milti hi nahi, chahe system sahi lage.
3. Name exact match karna zaroori hai — Aadhaar, PAN, electricity bill, aur bank account mein ek bhi spelling difference automated rejection trigger karta hai.
4. Bank account Aadhaar-linked hona chahiye — subsidy DBT ke through aati hai, kisi bhi doosre account mein transfer nahi hogi.
5. Apply karne se pehle electricity dues clear karein — koi bhi outstanding arrear application ko disqualify karta hai.
6. Clean documents ke saath 60–90 din mein subsidy aa jaati hai — ek bhi correction hone par 2–4 weeks extra lagte hain.
