13 Feb 2026 CW Team

Verification teams used records and field visits to update rosters and remove duplications, with the intent of streamlining distribution of the electricity allowance. The authority stated that the verification aims to protect limited public resources and to direct support to the poorest families. The updated lists will be used by distribution agencies to commence allocation of the free units. The process also sought to strengthen data accuracy for future audits and service planning.

The Antyodaya Anna Yojana is aimed at the most vulnerable households and the power allowance is intended to meet basic lighting and appliance needs. Households deemed eligible are expected to receive the two hundred free units on a regular schedule administered by the supply utilities. Oversight mechanisms will monitor delivery and address discrepancies reported during distribution. The allowance is not a substitute for regular supply but a targeted relief to reduce energy poverty.

Officials indicated that further verification and periodic reviews will continue to maintain the integrity of the scheme and to respond to changes in household circumstances. Beneficiaries will be notified through the established channels and grievance redressal will be available to those whose status requires reassessment. The programme administration affirmed its commitment to ensuring timely transfer of the benefit to verified households. Stakeholders expect that continuous monitoring will help in making any necessary corrections swiftly.
