- Enter the requested registered mobile number, email, consumer number or other login detail displayed for your account, then complete OTP verification.
- Open the consumer dashboard and select the relevant rooftop-solar application when more than one record appears.
- Read the latest stage, observation and pending action. Look for any button to upload, correct, confirm, redeem or submit information.
- Save a dated screenshot showing the application number, status and observation before contacting the vendor or DISCOM.
Information to Keep Ready Before Tracking the Status
| Information | Why it helps | Where to find it |
|---|---|---|
| Application number | Identifies the exact rooftop-solar request | Portal acknowledgement, dashboard, email or SMS |
| Residential consumer number | Links the record to the electricity connection | Latest electricity bill |
| Registered mobile number | Used for OTP and account access | Original application record |
| State and DISCOM | Shows which utility must complete connection-side actions | Electricity bill and portal profile |
| Vendor name and contact | Needed for installation documents and corrections | Signed agreement and National Portal selection |
| Plant capacity and installation date | Helps locate completion and inspection records | Invoice and Project Completion Report |
| Bank details submitted | Needed when CFA is pending at validation or payment | Portal entry and bank proof |
| Latest screenshot and observation | Prevents vague complaints and repeated explanations | Consumer dashboard |
The PM Surya Ghar documents checklist explains which electricity, installation, technical and banking records should be preserved for a status correction or grievance.
PM Surya Ghar Application Status Map
Portal wording can change, but every application moves through a set of functional stages. Use this map to identify the responsible party instead of treating every pending message as the same problem.
1. Consumer Registration
The residential electricity account and contact details are linked to the National Portal profile.
2. Rooftop-Solar Application
Proposed capacity and connection-related information are submitted.
3. Vendor Selection
A registered installer is selected and the consumer-vendor agreement is finalised.
4. Installation Update
Plant capacity, equipment records, completion documents and required photographs are added after installation.
5. DISCOM Inspection and Metering
The utility checks technical compliance and completes the approved metering process.
6. CFA and Bank Validation
Eligible capacity, e-token or claim action and bank proof are verified.
7. Subsidy Disbursal
Approved assistance enters the direct bank-credit or applicable loan-adjustment process.
Registration and Application Status: Meaning and Next Action
| Functional status | What it means | Who should act? | Recommended action |
|---|---|---|---|
| Registration started | The consumer profile has been created but the rooftop application is incomplete | Consumer | Log in and complete every mandatory field before starting a second registration |
| Consumer details need correction | The fetched electricity-account information is wrong or does not match the intended premises | Consumer and DISCOM | Correct the source utility record; repeated portal typing may not fix fetched data |
| Application submitted | The proposed rooftop-solar request has been recorded | Consumer | Save the application ID and follow the next action shown on the dashboard |
| Additional information required | A field, declaration or document is missing | Consumer | Read the exact observation and upload only the requested correction |
| Duplicate record | More than one application may exist for the same consumer connection | Consumer and support team | Do not continue both records; seek official guidance on which application to retain |
Vendor Selection and Installation Status
Vendor not selected
The consumer must compare and choose a vendor registered for the relevant State or DISCOM service area. Do not pay an unlisted installer while expecting CFA.
Vendor selected
Registration is complete, but installation may not have started. Confirm the signed agreement, equipment list, project schedule and payment milestones.
Installation in progress
The vendor is completing the physical system. The portal may not move until completion details and photographs are submitted.
Installation update pending
The plant may be physically complete, but invoice, module data, serial numbers, geo-tagged images or Project Completion Report remain incomplete.
Vendor correction required
Installed equipment or submitted data does not match the agreement, invoice or portal record. Obtain a written correction from the vendor.
Installation submitted
The plant record has moved from vendor completion toward DISCOM inspection or metering, subject to any final consumer action.
Compare the expected assistance with the PM Surya Ghar subsidy calculation guide , but remember that a quoted 3 kW system does not create ₹78,000 eligibility until actual module capacity and compliance are verified.
DISCOM Review and Inspection Status
The DISCOM is responsible for electricity-connection records, applicable metering, physical verification and portal approval actions. A pending DISCOM stage cannot always be solved by repeatedly contacting the vendor.
| Status situation | Likely reason | Useful response |
|---|---|---|
| Inspection not scheduled | Installation submission is incomplete, utility queue is pending or a local process remains open | Confirm that the portal shows a completed installation request before contacting the DISCOM |
| Inspection scheduled | The utility has accepted the plant for a site visit | Ensure roof access, consumer presence, vendor support and all technical records are ready |
| Inspection completed, status pending | The inspection result or checklist has not yet been updated | Keep the inspection date and official reference; follow up with the assigned utility office |
| Returned after inspection | A technical, photographic, equipment or documentation issue was recorded | Obtain the exact observation and proof of correction |
| Approved by DISCOM | The relevant verification stage is complete | Review the dashboard for metering, bank or subsidy actions still pending |
| Rejected by DISCOM | A mandatory condition was not satisfied | Download or screenshot the reason before filing a correction or grievance |
Net-Meter and Commissioning Status
The March 2026 official update stated that the net-metering agreement had been made part of the National Portal application. The actual meter installation and billing arrangement remain connected to the State regulatory framework and concerned DISCOM.
Meter Application Pending
Confirm whether the installation submission and agreement steps are complete. A vendor’s claim that “the meter is applied” should be supported by a portal or DISCOM reference.
Meter Testing Pending
The utility may need to test, configure or approve the metering equipment before commissioning.
Meter Installed
Installation alone does not prove that the solar plant has been commissioned and the portal updated. Preserve the meter record and commissioning date.
Billing Not Reflecting Solar
Check the commissioning date, first billing cycle, import/export readings and applicable metering method with the DISCOM.
Bank Verification Pending: What to Check
The bank stage confirms that the subsidy-receiving account belongs to the concerned residential consumer. A bank account can be active and still fail portal validation because of incorrect digits, an outdated IFSC, unclear proof or an ownership mismatch.
- Compare every account-number digit with the uploaded bank proof.
- Confirm that the IFSC remains valid after any branch merger or transfer.
- Use a clear cancelled cheque, passbook scan, bank e-statement or accepted account-ownership document.
- Check whether the account-holder name identifies the concerned consumer as required.
- Confirm that the file is complete, readable and not password protected.
- For a financed system, check whether the loan-account information has been correctly recorded.
- Do not upload debit-card images, ATM receipts or screenshots exposing sensitive credentials.
Before replacing a bank file, use the detailed PM Surya Ghar bank and document checklist to identify the correct proof.
How to Understand PM Surya Ghar Subsidy Status
| Functional status | Meaning | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| CFA action pending | A required consumer step such as bank verification, confirmation or e-token redemption remains incomplete | Open the pending-action button and complete it personally |
| CFA under processing | The approved claim is moving through validation or payment processing | Preserve the date and wait for the official update before submitting duplicate details |
| Bank validation failed | The account or proof did not pass verification | Correct the exact bank field and upload a readable accepted document |
| Payment processed | The claim has entered or completed the payment stage | Check for a UTR, bank entry or loan-account adjustment |
| Subsidy credited | The approved CFA has reached the verified destination account | Save the bank entry, UTR and final portal screenshot |
| Payment failed or returned | The banking route could not complete the credit | Verify account status, IFSC, ownership and the recorded failure reason |
The operational framework provides for CFA processing after DISCOM approval. However, the complete time from installation to credit can include inspection, metering, correction, bank validation and consumer redemption actions. Do not measure the payment timeline from the day of initial registration.
Application Returned or Rejected: Difference and Response
Returned for correction
The application can usually continue after the recorded information, document or installation issue is corrected and resubmitted.
Rejected
A mandatory eligibility or compliance condition was not satisfied, or the case requires formal review before it can proceed.
Correction Process
- Save the rejection or return observation exactly as displayed.
- Identify whether the issue belongs to the consumer, vendor, DISCOM or bank.
- Collect proof of the correct information or completed technical correction.
- Use the portal’s permitted edit or resubmission action.
- Save the new acknowledgement and compare the updated status.
- Escalate only when the observation remains unresolved after a valid correction.
What to Do When the Status Is Not Updating
A dashboard can remain unchanged because the next party has not acted, the action was completed outside the portal but not synchronised, or the application lacks a required submission. Use this sequence before raising a complaint.
- Log out and sign in again through the official portal. Check on another secure browser or the official mobile app.
- Confirm the application number and consumer connection. Do not accidentally track an older or duplicate record.
- Open every expandable observation, notification or pending-action section on the dashboard.
- Compare the physical stage with the portal stage. For example, a completed installation may still lack an uploaded Project Completion Report.
- Ask the responsible party for a reference number: vendor upload acknowledgement, DISCOM inspection number, meter request or bank correction submission.
- Wait for a reasonable system-synchronisation period after a documented action, then take a fresh dated screenshot.
- Raise a grievance with the application number, consumer number, relevant dates, observation and supporting files.
Who Is Responsible for Each Pending Stage?
| Pending item | Primary party | Supporting party |
|---|---|---|
| Wrong consumer details | Consumer and DISCOM | National Portal support for sync issues |
| Incomplete application field | Consumer | Official portal support |
| Vendor selection | Consumer | Registered vendors listed through the portal |
| Installation delay | Registered vendor | Consumer under the signed agreement |
| Incorrect equipment or upload | Registered vendor | Consumer must verify and retain proof |
| Inspection scheduling | DISCOM | Vendor and consumer for site access |
| Metering and commissioning | DISCOM | Vendor for technical readiness |
| Bank-document correction | Consumer | Bank or portal support where required |
| CFA processing after approval | Programme and payment system | Consumer for any pending redemption or validation action |
| Portal technical error | National Portal support | Consumer should provide screenshot and application details |

Frequently Asked Questions
Where can I check PM Surya Ghar application status?
Use the consumer dashboard on the official PM Surya Ghar National Portal. The official Government mobile application also supports application-status tracking.
Can I check status without the registered mobile number?
Login options are determined by the current portal. When OTP access is unavailable, use the official account-recovery or support process rather than registering a duplicate application.
Why is my application still showing pending?
“Pending” can refer to a consumer upload, vendor completion, DISCOM inspection, metering, bank validation or subsidy action. Open the detailed observation to identify the responsible party.
My installation is complete. Why has the status not changed?
Physical completion does not automatically update the portal. Plant details, completion records and required geo-tagged photographs may still need submission before DISCOM inspection.
Does DISCOM approval mean the subsidy is already credited?
No. Bank verification, e-token or consumer claim actions and payment processing may remain after the relevant DISCOM approval.
How long does subsidy processing take after approval?
The operational guidelines provide for CFA processing after DISCOM approval, including a stated 15-day processing period. Actual bank credit can still depend on successful bank validation and completion of the required consumer actions.
What does bank validation failed mean?
The account number, IFSC, ownership information or uploaded proof may be incorrect, unclear or inconsistent. Check the exact observation before replacing the document.
Can a vendor check the status for me?
A vendor may assist with installation-stage actions, but the consumer should retain control of the portal login, verify every update and never share banking credentials or payment PINs.
Should I submit a new application when the old one is stuck?
Not unless an authorised official instructs you to do so. First identify the existing application’s observation and use the correction or grievance process.
Can I track status through a third-party website?
Use the official National Portal or Government mobile app for live application information. Third-party websites cannot reliably access or determine the current official status of your consumer record.
What proof should I keep after subsidy credit?
Save the final portal status, bank statement entry, UTR or transaction reference, installation invoice, DISCOM records, warranties and vendor agreement.
Track the Responsible Action, Not Just the Status Word
A useful status check answers three questions: what stage is open, who must act and what evidence proves completion. Save the dashboard observation before calling anyone, then follow up with the consumer, vendor, DISCOM, bank or portal support according to the responsible stage.
For a broader review, use the complete PM Surya Ghar scheme guide , verify eligibility through the household eligibility checklist , and calculate the expected assistance using the current CFA calculation guide .
