Explanation:

Also called as Pradhan Mantri Sahaj Bijli Har Ghar Yojna, its objective is to achieve universal household electrification in all parts of the country. The scheme primarily benefits rural areas, which have vast majority of households without power connections. It is being funded to extent of 60% by central grants, 30% by bank loans and 10% by states. Of total outlay of Rs 16,320 crore, rural areas will get Rs 14,025 crore. For urban households outlay is Rs. 2,295 crore. States will be provided with incentive of 50% of their loan being converted to grants, if electrification targets under the scheme are met by 31 December 2018. The government will use Socio Economic and Caste Census (SECC) 2011 data to identify beneficiaries for free electricity connections.
