The Energy Department of the Government of Karnataka has facilitated beneficiaries of the Gruha Jyothi scheme to delink their Aadhaar and cancel their existing application through the Seva Sindhu portal by introducing a new application form called “Gruha Jyothi Delink“. This allows beneficiaries to submit a fresh application in case of a house shift.
Below, we have provided the complete process to delink or deregister from the Gruha Jyothi scheme, along with answers to frequently asked questions regarding issues or confusion that may arise during the delinking process.
What is Gruha Jyothi Delink & When Should You Use This Facility?
Gruha Jyothi Delink is the process of deregistering from the Gruha Jyothi scheme using the online application form available on the Seva Sindhu portal. This facility is useful in the following situations:
- Shifted to a new house and need to update the electricity account details to continue receiving scheme benefits.
- Decided to discontinue the scheme benefits for personal reasons.
Since multiple applications for the Gruha Jyothi scheme cannot be submitted using the same Aadhaar number, delinking Aadhaar from the existing application is mandatory if you shift to a new house and need to re-register in the scheme using the same Aadhaar but with a different electricity meter consumer ID.
