Bachat Lamp Scheme 2020: The intention of the Bachat Lamp Yojana or Scheme is to provide Energy Efficient Compact Fluorescent Lamps (CFLs) at the very affordable and same cost of Rs.15 – similar to Incandescent Bulbs.

Through carbon credits earned from this, they can be traded in the International market under Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) of the Kyoto Protocol and this cost differential would be made up.4

Bachat Lamp Scheme 2020

The Bachat Lamp Yojana is developed by BEE with the objective to promote energy efficient lighting across India. As of now, there are not many mandatory requirements requiring the use of energy effective CFL at the basic household level. All the key players under the scheme such as BEE and participating implementer(s), DISCOMs and households are thereby voluntarily taking part under this scheme.

The thing is BEE coordinates with the Small-Scale Programme of Activities. This initiative supports the respective project implementers in implementing the CDM Programme Activities in India. These ultimately are used in harnessing the collaboration with Electricity Distribution Companies.

Bachat Lamp Yojana after implementation results in reducing Green House Gas emissions from power plants connected to the grids. The BLY CDM Programme of Activities is also registered with the UNFCCC as of 29th April 2010.

As of date, 50 small-scale BLY projects India have been included in this registered umbrella framework from various parts of India and 44 projects have been implemented. Thus about 29 million CFLs have been so far distributed during the XI plan period.

Here long-life CFLs would be distributed by SSC-CPA implementer(s) to grid-connected residential households in exchange for incandescent lamps (ICL) and INR 15. This scheme works on a purely voluntary basis and as such is not mandatory.

Hence, all the key players under the scheme like the BEE and participating CPA implementer(s), SEB / DISCOMs and households take part in this scheme voluntarily. The CPA implementer(s) would cover the project cost through the sale of greenhouse gases (GHG) emission reductions achieved in their respective CPA areas.

The CFL distribution under an SSC-CPA is restricted to the project boundary which is the identified SEBs/DISCOM’s CPA project distribution area e.g. DISCOM Circle, Division. The unique DISCOM provided consumer numbers help in the identification of households under the defined project area.

The CFLs are supposed to be installed in high hourly usage areas in a household, such as outsides, living room area, common areas, and kitchen. In cooperation with the SEB/DISCOM, the CPA Implementer will do this by virtue of an awareness campaign – which targets the idea of educating households that only in case the CFLs are placed in high usage areas, maximum energy savings and subsequent cost savings can be achieved.

To sum up, the Bachat Lamp Yojana ultimately is a scheme developed by the Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE) to promote the idea of using energy efficient lighting for households in India.

Swavalamban Yojana

Previously known as Swavalamban Yojana, the Atal Pension Yojana is a pension scheme in India which is supported by the government and it is targeted at the un-organized sector. It was first mentioned in the Budget Speech of 2015 by the Finance Minister, Arun Jaitley. It was thus launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Kolkata. This scheme was introduced because, until 2015, only 20% of India’s population had any kind of pension scheme, and this scheme aimed to increase this number.

As per Atal Pension Yojana, Central Government would co-contribute 50% of the total contribution or Rs.1, 000 per annum, whichever is lower, for every contribution made to the pension fund, to each eligible subscriber account, for a span of five years. The minimum age of joining this scheme is 18 years and maximum age of joining is 40 years. Naturally, the age of exit and the start of pension services would be at 60 years of age. This is why a minimum period of contribution under APY by the subscriber would be 20 years or more.

For proof of address, an individual needs to submit a copy of his or her ration card or bank passbook.

The subscribers of this Yojana are required to opt for a monthly pension from Rs.1000 to Rs.5000 and they have to ensure the payment of the stipulated monthly contribution regularly. As per the available monthly pension amount she subscribers can also opt to decrease or increase pension amount during the course of the accumulation phase. But, the option to switch is only provided once in a year – during the month of April.

Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana

This scheme is linked to the accounts opened via the Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana scheme and the contributions will be deducted automatically from there. Recently, the Centre has allowed even the small finance Banks to offer APY.

Looking back, Swavalamban Yojana was also a pension scheme targeted at the unorganized sector in India and was government-backed. This scheme administered by the Pension Fund Regulatory and Development Authority (PFRDA) Act 2013was applicable to all citizens in the unorganized sector whoever joined the National Pension Scheme (NPS).

Under this scheme, the Government of India contributed Rs.1000 per year to each NPS account opened in the span of 2010-11 and for the next three years too. The benefit of this Yojana was available only to people who joined the NPS with a minimum contribution of Rs.1000 and a maximum contribution of Rs.12, 000 per year. The Finance Minister announced this scheme in Budget 2010-11. It was funded by the Government of India grants.

Today, this scheme has been replaced with Atal Pension Yojana. To sum up, in APY all subscribing workers below the age of 40 are eligible for a pension of up to Rs.5000 per month upon the attainment of 60 years of age. (Atal Pension Yojana)
