Portal Edit, Record Matching and Grievance Guide

PM Surya Ghar Application Correction 2026

Correct consumer information, project capacity, vendor, module, inverter, documents, photographs, meter, bank and loan details while keeping the National Portal, physical installation, invoice and DISCOM records consistent.

Last Updated: July 25, 2026

Quick Answer: Use the consumer’s own National Portal login and correct the existing application wherever an edit, update or correction control is available. The official operational guidelines state that the applicant login supports updating installation status, technical specifications, relevant photographs, grievances and other installation activities without depending entirely on the vendor. After installation, the consumer must update actual system details and upload required documents before the case moves to the DISCOM. The DISCOM can approve the inspected plant, return the application for correction or reject it with adequate justification. A correction should fix the underlying source record or physical system—not merely change one portal field. When the field is locked, the reason is unclear or the authority must review a source record, raise a grievance under the same application and preserve the unique tracking ID.
Do not use false documents or create a duplicate application to hide an error. Consumer number, address, module capacity, DCR, inverter, invoice, Project Completion Report, inspection and bank details should describe one real project.
The exact editable fields can vary by stage, State and portal version. This guide explains the correction logic and evidence. It does not claim that every field remains editable after submission, inspection or approval.

Four Types of PM Surya Ghar Application Correction

Editable Portal Field

The consumer login displays an edit or update control. Correct it with source evidence and save the acknowledgement.

Source-Record Correction

The portal imports or verifies data from the DISCOM, bank or lender. Correct the original institution’s record first.

Authority Review

A submitted or inspected field needs DISCOM, SIA, NPIA, bank or lender approval before it can change.

Physical-System Correction

The real module, inverter, structure, cable, protection or meter is wrong. Editing text alone cannot fix it.

Correction rule: The source document, physical installation and portal should all end with the same information. A correction is incomplete while any one of them still disagrees.

Official Consumer Rights in the National Portal

The residential CFA operational guidelines state that applicant login is provided for activities relating to each installation, including updating installation status, technical specifications, grievance redressal and uploading relevant pre-installation and post-installation pictures. They expressly state that the consumer has user rights to undertake portal activities without relying on the vendor.

The guidelines also state that after the vendor completes installation, the consumer updates actual system details and uploads relevant documents and geo-tagged photographs. The vendor may assist through the consumer login, but the record remains the consumer’s application.

Assistance is not account ownership. Keep the registered mobile, email, OTP and password under consumer control and review every value before submission.

Safe PM Surya Ghar Correction Workflow

Save existing status› Identify source of truth› Correct physical/source record› Update existing application› Upload evidence› Review or re-inspection› Save acknowledgement
  1. Log in to the official consumer profile yourself.
  2. Save a full screenshot of the current application and error.
  3. Identify the exact field, stage and authority that owns it.
  4. Identify the accepted source document or physical label.
  5. Correct the source record or physical installation first when necessary.
  6. Use edit, update, resubmit or correction controls in the existing application.
  7. Upload clear evidence and update all connected fields.
  8. Submit and save the acknowledgement, date and new status.
  9. Request review or re-inspection when the stage requires it.
  10. Raise a tracked grievance if the field is locked or the correction is not reviewed.

Check the live stage through the PM Surya Ghar application-status guide .

Interactive Application-Correction Planner

Select the field, stage and edit status. The tool creates an educational action plan; it does not access or modify the government portal.

Source may be the electricity bill, bank, lender, invoice, module label, inverter label or inspection report.
Consumer-detail correction plan
  • Compare the latest electricity bill with the portal field.
  • Correct the DISCOM source record first when the bill or utility database is wrong.
  • Use the existing application’s edit control or raise a grievance if locked.
  • Save the corrected bill and portal acknowledgement.

Before Editing: Preserve the Original Application

  • Application ID
  • Consumer number
  • Full dashboard screenshot
  • Current stage and date
  • Exact error, correction or inspection remark
  • Existing vendor and system capacity
  • Previously uploaded documents
  • Current module and inverter records
  • Bank and loan details shown
  • Previous grievance IDs
Do not delete evidence after making a correction. The old and new records may be needed to explain why the change was legitimate.

Registration and Basic Consumer-Detail Correction

Field Primary source Correction owner
State and DISCOM Electricity connection and bill Consumer portal; portal support if locked
Consumer account number Latest electricity bill DISCOM source record and portal
Connection-holder name DISCOM consumer database DISCOM name-change process first when wrong
Installation address Electricity bill and utility record DISCOM or portal review
Tariff category DISCOM tariff and bill DISCOM
Connection phase and sanctioned load DISCOM record and meter DISCOM and project design

Review the original registration through the PM Surya Ghar apply-online guide and eligibility through the eligibility guide .

Applicant or Electricity-Connection Name Correction

First determine which name is wrong: portal applicant, electricity connection, bank account, invoice or loan. These records do not always need identical formatting, but they must establish that the benefit and bank account belong to the concerned consumer.

  1. Check the exact connection-holder name on the current electricity bill.
  2. Check whether a legal name change, spelling issue or ownership transfer exists.
  3. Correct the DISCOM record where the electricity connection itself is wrong.
  4. Collect accepted identity and relationship evidence.
  5. Update the portal field if editable.
  6. If locked, submit a grievance with old and corrected DISCOM evidence.
  7. Review bank and invoice records for connected mismatches.
Do not invent a spelling solely to match one document. Use the accepted legal and DISCOM correction route and explain genuine differences.

Wrong Address, DISCOM or Consumer Number

Wrong Portal Entry State, DISCOM or number was typed incorrectly while the source bill is correct.
→
Correction Route Edit the existing application before locking, or ask portal support to re-map the correct utility record.
Wrong Utility Record The latest bill or DISCOM database itself has an old or incorrect address/name.
→
Correction Route Correct the DISCOM source record first, then update or review the National Portal application.
A plant linked to another consumer connection cannot be corrected by changing only the address text. The grid connection, installation site and application must be genuinely linked.

Mobile Number or Email Correction

  • Keep the active consumer-controlled mobile number.
  • Check whether an OTP is sent to the old number.
  • Use profile-edit or support recovery where available.
  • Do not replace the consumer contact with a vendor employee’s permanent number.
  • Update email before important inspection, token or grievance stages.
  • Save the confirmation message after the change.
Why this matters: Status, grievance and verification updates may be sent through SMS, email and other channels under the scheme workflow.

Solar System Capacity Correction

Correct installed DC capacity:
Module nameplate wattage × number of physically installed modules

Capacity can appear in the application, feasibility stage, quotation, invoice, Project Completion Report, e-token and DISCOM inspection. Correct all related records together. CFA is based on eligible module DC capacity, not inverter capacity.

  • Count physical modules.
  • Read the exact wattage on the installed model.
  • Calculate total DC capacity without rounding upward.
  • Compare the approved or proposed capacity.
  • Correct invoice, PCR and portal details.
  • Recheck string and inverter compatibility after a capacity change.
  • Request revised inspection or CFA calculation where required.

Choose the right capacity with the home solar system-size guide , verify roof fit through the rooftop-area guide , and calculate CFA with the PM Surya Ghar subsidy guide .

Selected-Vendor Correction

The consumer must choose a registered vendor. Vendor correction is simpler before agreement, payment and installation. After work starts, portal correction must be coordinated with contract settlement, material ownership, technical audit, invoice, PCR, warranty and CMC responsibility.

  • Save the current selected-vendor screen.
  • Verify the proposed vendor remains registered.
  • Check whether re-selection is editable.
  • Terminate or settle the old agreement separately.
  • Transfer equipment and work records.
  • Ask for portal re-mapping through correction or grievance when locked.
  • Do not create a duplicate application to change a vendor name.

Follow the complete vendor-change guide and compare installers using the registered-vendor guide .

Solar Module, Serial Number and DCR Correction

A module correction may be documentary or physical. A typing error in the model can be corrected with accurate labels and invoice evidence. An actually installed non-DCR or substituted module requires physical replacement before CFA eligibility can be restored.

Problem Required correction
Model typed incorrectly Correct portal, invoice or PCR using physical label and manufacturer evidence
Serial number missing Create and upload the complete physical serial register
Module substituted before installation Recheck DCR, design, quotation and portal details
Non-DCR module installed Replace physically with eligible compliant modules and update all records
Damaged module replaced Record old and new model, serial, capacity, warranty and technical compatibility
Mixed models Verify DCR, electrical compatibility and exact installed capacity

Use the PM Surya Ghar DCR module guide .

Never replace a physical DCR problem with a false declaration. The DISCOM can inspect labels and installed equipment.

Inverter Model, Rating, Phase or MPPT Correction

  • Read the exact physical manufacturer, model and serial.
  • Check rated AC output and connection phase.
  • Check module-string voltage, current and MPPT assignment.
  • Check BIS/QCO and grid-protection evidence.
  • Correct the invoice, PCR, SLD and portal together.
  • Replace the physical inverter when the installed unit is incompatible.
  • Retest and update commissioning values.

Verify the design through the solar-inverter selection guide and phase or load through the feasibility-approval guide .

Inverter correction does not normally change module-based CFA by itself. The corrected inverter must still meet the technical design and inspection requirements.

Invoice, Project Completion Report and Document Correction

Document Common error Safe correction
GST invoice Wrong model, capacity, quantity, consumer or tax details Obtain a corrected invoice, credit note or accepted amendment from the issuing vendor
Project Completion Report Declared plant differs from the physical installation Correct and re-sign after physical verification
Electricity bill Old address, name or consumer category Correct through the DISCOM source process
Bank proof Unreadable, old IFSC or wrong account Upload a current accepted document
DCR declaration Wrong model or incomplete cell/module evidence Obtain manufacturer or portal-verifiable evidence
Test report Old values after equipment replacement Retest and issue a dated corrected report

Prepare the complete record using the PM Surya Ghar documents checklist .

Do not edit a PDF image to manufacture a correction. The issuing vendor, DISCOM, bank or lender should provide the corrected source record.

Geo-Tagged Photograph Correction

  • Use the current portal’s required photo categories.
  • Capture the correct installation site.
  • Show modules, inverter, structure and other requested equipment clearly.
  • Ensure geo-location permission is enabled where required.
  • Avoid screenshots, downloaded images or photos from another project.
  • Retake images after a physical component correction.
  • Save the original photo files and submission acknowledgement.
A corrected photo must show the corrected plant. Re-uploading a clearer image does not fix wrong equipment.

Correction After DISCOM Inspection

The operational guidelines allow the DISCOM to send the application back for corrections after physical inspection. Treat the exact remark as the correction scope.

  1. Save the complete inspection remark or report.
  2. Separate physical defects from portal/document mismatch.
  3. Send the remark to the registered vendor in writing.
  4. Correct equipment, structure, wiring, protection, earthing or records.
  5. Retest every technical correction.
  6. Update module, inverter, serial, invoice, PCR, SLD and photographs as applicable.
  7. Submit correction evidence through the stated portal route.
  8. Request desk review or re-inspection according to the remark.
  9. Save the new acknowledgement and status.

Use the DISCOM inspection guide and the solar-installation process guide .

Vendor duty: The guidelines place rectification of system-quality or component deficiencies causing non-commissioning or non-disbursal on the registered vendor.

Meter, Meter Number or Agreement Correction

  • Confirm approved metering mechanism under State rules.
  • Check meter make, number, phase and installation record.
  • Check import and export wiring direction.
  • Check existing meter final reading and new meter initial reading.
  • Correct the metering agreement when the consumer, capacity or point of connection is wrong.
  • Update SLD and portal after an approved connection change.
  • Use the DISCOM billing grievance route for incorrect post-meter bills.

Follow the PM Surya Ghar net-meter guide .

Bank-Account, Account Holder or IFSC Correction

The guidelines require consumer bank information and an accepted document certifying that the bank account is held by the concerned consumer.

Bank error Correction evidence
Wrong account number Recent passbook, statement or cancelled cheque
Old IFSC Current branch confirmation after merger or migration
Name mismatch Bank KYC and accepted evidence linking the account to the concerned consumer
Dormant, frozen or closed account Bank activation or accepted replacement account
Unreadable proof Complete high-quality accepted document
Failed transfer Bank confirmation showing whether the credit was returned

Track the corrected stage through the subsidy-payment status guide .

Bank correction does not require a PIN, card OTP or internet-banking password. Never give these credentials to a vendor, agent or caller.

Linked Solar Loan Account Correction

  • Check lender name and loan account number.
  • Check the borrower and consumer linkage.
  • Check current outstanding principal.
  • Check whether the loan was closed, prepaid or transferred.
  • Obtain a lender correction or outstanding certificate.
  • Update the portal or raise a mapping grievance.
  • Check whether CFA should first reduce the outstanding loan.

Review the process using the PM Surya Ghar solar-loan guide .

E-Token or Eligible Subsidy Amount Correction

The e-token is activated after required documents and DISCOM inspection are complete, using eligible CFA based on actual installed capacity. If the token amount is wrong, first verify physical module DC capacity and the approved inspection record.

  • Confirm final installed module capacity.
  • Confirm ordinary or special-category CFA rate.
  • Check whether prior subsidy reduced the eligible balance.
  • Check whether any correction remains open.
  • Check final DISCOM approval capacity.
  • Save the token amount and error screen.
  • Raise a grievance requesting capacity and CFA review.
Do not change physical capacity after inspection without approval. Any legitimate capacity change may require updated technical design, invoice, PCR, inspection and token calculation.

What to Do When the Correction Field Is Locked

  1. Confirm that you are in the correct application and stage.
  2. Check for a separate edit, resubmit, enquiry or returned-application tab.
  3. Save the locked field and current value.
  4. Identify the authority that now owns the stage.
  5. Correct the source record or physical system first.
  6. Prepare old value, corrected value and supporting evidence.
  7. Raise a grievance requesting a specific field unlock, correction or re-mapping.
  8. Save the unique tracking ID.
  9. Follow up under the same grievance.
Useful correction table:

Field: [Field name]
Current portal value: [Old value]
Correct value: [New value]
Source evidence: [Bill / bank / label / invoice / inspection report]
Reason field is locked: [Current stage]
Requested action: [Unlock / update / re-map / re-inspect]

For cases stuck after submission, use the PM Surya Ghar approval-delay guide .

Why You Should Correct the Existing Application First

Duplicate Consumer Record

Two claims may appear against one electricity connection.

Vendor Conflict

Applications may show different vendors, equipment or payment records.

Inspection Conflict

The DISCOM may receive the wrong plant capacity or application ID.

Token and Bank Conflict

E-token, loan and bank validation can become harder to reconcile.

When an existing application is rejected rather than editable, use the application-rejected guide before starting again.

Apply again only when the official authority instructs it. Preserve the old application ID and closure or cancellation acknowledgement.

Application-Correction Scams and Red Flags

Paid Field Unlock

An agent promises to unlock any portal field for a private fee.

Fake Document Editing

The consumer is asked to alter an invoice, bank proof, serial label or inspection report.

OTP Takeover

A caller requests permanent control of the consumer login.

Duplicate Application Service

A second claim is created instead of correcting the existing record.

Fake Grievance Closure

A screenshot is shown without the update in the consumer’s official profile.

Bank Credential Request

A person asks for PIN, card OTP or banking password to correct CFA details.

  • Use the consumer’s own official login.
  • Keep OTP, password, PIN and card credentials private.
  • Obtain corrected documents from the issuing authority.
  • Use only official charges and verified payment channels.
  • Report suspected forgery, bribery or fraud to appropriate authorities.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I correct my PM Surya Ghar application?

Yes, use editable fields or a returned-application correction route where available. Locked fields may require DISCOM, SIA, NPIA, bank or lender review.

Can the consumer edit the portal without the vendor?

The guidelines state that the consumer has user rights to undertake portal activities without relying on the vendor.

Can every field be edited at every stage?

No. Edit availability depends on stage, field, State integration and current portal version.

What should I do before editing?

Save the application, old value, status, date, remark and all previously uploaded evidence.

Can I correct the consumer number?

Correct a typing error when the portal permits. When the underlying DISCOM record or connection is wrong, correct the source record and request portal review.

How do I correct the applicant name?

Check the electricity connection and legal identity records. Correct the DISCOM source where needed, then update or request review on the National Portal.

Can I change the selected vendor?

It may be possible, but the route depends on application stage, agreement, payment and completed work. Use the existing application and official correction or grievance process.

How do I correct the system capacity?

Recalculate actual module DC capacity and update the quotation, invoice, PCR, portal, inspection and subsidy calculation as applicable.

Does inverter capacity decide CFA?

No. CFA is based on eligible installed module DC capacity, though the inverter must meet the technical design.

Can I correct a non-DCR module only in the portal?

No. An actually installed non-DCR module must be physically corrected before CFA eligibility.

Can the DISCOM return an application for correction?

Yes. The operational guidelines expressly allow the DISCOM to return the application for corrections after inspection.

What if the correction field is locked?

Prepare the old value, correct value and source evidence, then request an unlock, update, re-mapping or review through the grievance process.

How do I correct bank details?

Use a current accepted bank document showing account holder, account number and IFSC. Correct the bank source record if the account itself is wrong.

Can I change the linked loan account?

Obtain lender evidence and request correction of the portal or bank integration.

Why is my e-token amount wrong?

Check actual installed module capacity, special-category rate, prior subsidy, inspection approval and open corrections.

Should I create a fresh application?

Not unless the official authority instructs it. Correct or grieve the existing application first to avoid duplicates.

How can I raise a correction grievance?

Use the National Portal, app or official call centre and state the exact old value, new value, source evidence and requested action.

How long should grievance resolution take?

The operational guidelines state that grievances are to be resolved within 30 days.

What is the official call-centre number?

A March 2026 government update stated that 15555 was operational in 12 languages. Verify current availability on the official portal.

Can I edit an invoice myself?

No. Obtain a corrected invoice, credit note or accepted amendment from the issuing vendor.

What proof should I keep after correction?

Keep the old status, source document, corrected record, upload acknowledgement, review or inspection result and grievance tracking ID.

A Correct Application Must Match the Real Solar Plant

A successful correction creates one consistent evidence chain from electricity connection to application, vendor, capacity, modules, inverter, invoice, Project Completion Report, inspection, meter, e-token and bank account. Do not correct one field while leaving another contradictory record unchanged.

Start with the complete PM Surya Ghar guide , compare system architecture using the on-grid versus off-grid guide , and estimate project return with the savings calculator .

Check project prices in the 1kW , 2kW and 3kW cost guides , and protect the corrected system with the maintenance and warranty guide .
