MSEDCL Abhay Yojana waives interest on dues

MSEDCL has launched Abhay Yojana 2026-27 for eligible non-agricultural electricity consumers in Maharashtra. It covers domestic, commercial, industrial and other low-tension (LT) and high-tension (HT) consumers, including those in MSEDCL distribution franchise areas, whose supply was permanently disconnected on or before March 31, 2026, or temporarily disconnected on or before December 31, 2025.

The scheme waives 100 per cent of interest and late payment charges. Eligible consumers who pay the full principal in one lump sum from launch through December 15 get a discount: LT domestic and commercial consumers disconnected for up to 3 years get 10 per cent, and those disconnected for more than 3 years get 20 per cent. Other LT consumers get 10 per cent and HT consumers get 15 per cent.

Consumers can pay in one lump sum or instalments. LT consumers can pay 50 per cent upfront and the rest in 6 equal, interest-free monthly instalments; HT consumers can pay in 3 to 6 interest-free instalments. Applications are online through MSEDCL's official portal or mobile app. The scheme runs until January 15, 2027.
