Q171: Under the "PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana" (Rooftop Solar Scheme), the government provides subsidies based on system capacity. Which of the following subsidy slabs is INCORRECT?

A
₹30,000 for a 1 kW system.
B
₹60,000 for a 2 kW system.
C
₹78,000 for a 3 kW system.
D
₹1,00,000 for a 5 kW system.
✅ Correct Answer: D
Option D is INCORRECT.
The subsidy is capped at the 3 kW level.
For 1 kW, it is ₹30,000.
For 2 kW, it is ₹60,000.
For 3 kW, it is ₹78,000.
For any capacity Above 3 kW, the subsidy remains fixed at ₹78,000.
There is no additional subsidy for capacity beyond 3 kW (e.g., a 5 kW system also gets only ₹78,000). This scheme aims to provide free electricity (up to 300 units) to 1 crore households.
