Apply after October 31
The window for government applications to get electricity subsidy will not be closed on October 31. But October 31 is the last day only for those who want to continue the benefit of subsidy from October 1.
You can apply for subsidy in November too, but then you will get the subsidy from the day you do it instead of the previous date. If you do it on November 10, then you will get the subsidy from the same day, that is, the electricity spent between November 1 and 9 will not be made on the basis of subsidy.
