Practice questions

Q1Which one of the following correctly states the eligibility conditions for a household seeking benefits under PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana?

A Any tenant without an electricity connection, provided the building is commercial

B A household that already received another solar subsidy, even without a suitable roof

C Only households that permanently disconnect from the local electricity grid

D An Indian residential consumer with a suitable rooftop, an active grid-connected electricity connection, and no prior solar subsidy

Explanation

The eligible applicant is an Indian residential consumer who has a suitable roof, maintains an active grid-connected electricity connection, and has not previously taken a solar subsidy. Each wrong option removes a necessary condition or introduces a circumstance that conflicts with eligibility.

Q2Consider the following statements about PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana: 1. A household may sell surplus electricity to its local distribution company. 2. The scheme is expected to add 30 gigawatts of renewable capacity. Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

A 1 only

B 2 only

C Both 1 and 2

D Neither 1 nor 2

Explanation

Both statements are correct. Households can earn additional income by selling surplus rooftop-solar electricity to their local distribution company. The projected impact also includes adding 30 gigawatts of renewable capacity, so neither statement depends on inference beyond the stated features.

Q3Match List I with List II and select the correct answer. List I (System capacity): 1. 1 kilowatt; 2. 2 kilowatts; 3. 3 kilowatts or more List II (Subsidy amount): P. ₹30,000; Q. ₹60,000; R. ₹78,000

A 1-P, 2-Q, 3-R

B 1-Q, 2-P, 3-R

C 1-P, 2-R, 3-Q

D 1-R, 2-Q, 3-P

Explanation

The stated subsidy slabs rise with system capacity up to the cap: ₹30,000 for 1 kilowatt, ₹60,000 for 2 kilowatts, and ₹78,000 for 3 kilowatts or more. Therefore the complete matching is 1-P, 2-Q and 3-R; every alternative misplaces at least two amounts.

Q4What is the total approved outlay of PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana?

A ₹60,000 crore

B ₹75,021 crore

C ₹78,000 crore

D ₹14,771 crore

Explanation

The Union Cabinet approved a total outlay of ₹75,021 crore for the scheme. The distractors deliberately reuse other scheme figures: household subsidy slabs and the assistance disbursed by December 2025, neither of which represents the full approved budget.

Q5What is the central objective of PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana?

A To provide up to 300 units of free electricity per month to 1 crore households through rooftop solar

B To provide free solar irrigation pumps to 1 crore farmers

C To replace every grid connection with an off-grid solar system

D To supply 300 units annually to commercial establishments

Explanation

The scheme links rooftop solar installations with the stated goal of supplying up to 300 units of free electricity every month to 1 crore households. The other choices change the beneficiary, technology relationship, or time period and therefore do not describe its objective.
