Quick FAQ
Who is eligible for subsidy in this component?
This component applies to eligible residential rooftop installations under capex mode. Commercial, industrial, and other non-residential consumer categories are not covered under this residential CFA stream.
How much subsidy can a household get under current rates?
Current effective CFA is Rs 30,000/kW for first 2 kW and Rs 18,000/kW for one additional kW, with no extra CFA beyond 3 kW. That means typical support can be Rs 60,000 for 2 kW and up to Rs 78,000 at 3 kW or higher.
Can state subsidy be added on top of central subsidy?
Yes. State/UT governments may provide additional support if their framework is integrated with the National Portal process and follows scheme rules.
Can an already subsidized system claim again after expansion?
Support can be considered only for eligible balance capacity up to the overall 3 kW subsidy ceiling, subject to prior claim history and current scheme rules.
How quickly is CFA processed after DISCOM approval?
As per current guideline language, CFA claims are processed within 15 days after approval by the concerned DISCOM, subject to complete and correct portal records.
Do we need DCR/ALMM-compliant modules for subsidy?
Yes. MNRE guidelines require compliant domestic-content modules for this CFA stream, and non-compliant module usage can make the installation ineligible.
