However, only those who apply before July 25 will receive free electricity for July. Despite initial glitches, the registrations soon picked up. The scheme offers households up to 200 units of free electricity per month. Registrations can be done at Bangalore One, Grama One, Karnataka One offices, or online via Seva Sindhu portal.
