About

Bijli aur Chulha is an independent information site about the two utility bills almost every Indian household pays: electricity and cooking gas. It explains how State Electricity Regulatory Commissions set domestic tariffs, what each line of a DISCOM bill means, how state free-power schemes and central programmes such as RDSS, PM Surya Ghar and PMUY affect what you pay, and how to escalate a wrong bill to the CGRF and Electricity Ombudsman.

The guides are written for householders, tenants, landlords and housing society committees. Every real tariff figure is quoted with the name and date of the order it comes from; every other number is clearly marked as an illustrative example. Tariffs, surcharges, LPG prices and scheme conditions change, sometimes monthly, so we link to the official bodies where you can confirm the current position.

We do not sell electricity, solar systems or gas connections, we do not rank DISCOMs, vendors or distributors, and we do not take payments to feature any provider. This site is not legal or financial advice. For assessments under Sections 126 or 135 of the Electricity Act, large disputes or contracts, consult an advocate or your DISCOM directly.
