myScheme’s own wording, reproduced in full. Where it is thin, that is the finding, and the completeness checks are below.

What this is

"PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana" is a government scheme that aims to provide free electricity to households in India.

In detail

"PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana" is a government scheme that aims to provide free electricity to households in India. The scheme was launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on February 15, 2024. Under the scheme, households will be provided with a subsidy to install solar panels on their roofs. The subsidy will cover up to 40% of the cost of the solar panels.

The household must own a house with a roof that is suitable for installing solar panels.

Why this is here and not above myScheme publishes no budget figure for any scheme. This one comes from the Union Budget Expenditure Profile and is joined by name, so it is shown apart from the checks and never counted in them. A scheme’s launch date, likewise, exists in its gazette notification whether or not the portal repeats it. The checks above ask only whether this portal tells a citizen, which is a different and narrower question.
