In Punjab, an electricity bill is generated after two months. In this case, a single bill would include 600 units of free electricity. If more than 600 units of electricity are consumed over the course of two months, the entire amount must be paid.

According to the government, this will help 73 lakh families in Punjab. Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann said that today we are going to fulfill another guarantee made with Punjabis. Every family will now receive 300 free electricity units per month from today.

Power Minister Harbhajan Singh said that the first guarantee of the Aam Aadmi Party has been fulfilled. From today, every family in Punjab will get 300 units of free electricity every month.

In two months, the general category will receive 600 free electricity units. If one unit is extra, the entire cost must be paid.

600 units will be totally free for SC category connections up to 1 kW. If he spends more, he will be responsible for the cost of the same extra unit.
