The record

- Karnataka's Gruha Jyothi free electricity scheme's door-to-door verification is badly delayed due to server problems on the Seva Sindhu portal and a shortage of meter readers.
- Of 1.65 crore beneficiaries, only 45 lakh households have been verified since the process began on July 1, raising doubts about meeting the August 31 deadline.
- Bescom alone has 65 lakh beneficiaries but only 7,409 meter readers, with 40 lakh homes still to be covered.
- Meanwhile, more than 20,000 beneficiaries have voluntarily opted out of the free electricity by signing Part B forms.
