2. Question
1 pointsPRAAPTI App and web portal is associated with
CorrectA Web portal and an App namely PRAAPTI (Payment Ratification And Analysis in Power
procurement for bringing Transparency in Invoicing of generators) has been developed to
bring transparency in power purchase transactions between Generators and Discoms.The App and Web Portal will capture the Invoicing and payment datafor various long term
PPAs from the Generators. This will help the stakeholders in getting month-wise and legacy
data on outstanding amounts of Discoms against power purchase.
The app will also allow users to know the details related to the payments made by the
Discoms to the power generation company and when they were made.
PRAAPTI will also enable the consumers to evaluate financial performance of their Discoms
in terms of payments being made to the generation companies.
The Portal would also help DISCOMs and GENCOs to reconcile their outstanding payments.
The portal would facilitate relative assessment of various State DISCOMs on “Ease of making
payments” to various Generation Companies, and will also help make transactions in the
power Sector more transparent.IncorrectA Web portal and an App namely PRAAPTI (Payment Ratification And Analysis in Power

4. Question
1 pointsConsider the following statements about Pradhan Mantri Sahaj Bijli Har Ghar Yojana –“Saubhagya”
1. Poor households identified using Socio Economic and Caste Census (SECC) 2011 would be provided with free electricity
2. Rural Electrification Corporation Limited (REC) is the nodal agency for the operationalisation of the scheme
3. Deendayal Upadhyaya Gram Jyoti Yojana (DDUGJY) and Integrated Power Development Scheme (IPDS) have been subsumed under the ‘Saubhagya’ scheme
Select the correct statementsCorrectThe beneficiaries for free electricity connections would be identified using Socio Economic
and Caste Census (SECC) 2011 data. However, un-electrified households not covered under
the SECC data would also be provided electricity connections under the scheme on payment
of Rs. 500 which shall be recovered by DISCOMs in 10 instalments through electricity bill.
Rural Electrification Corporation Limited (REC) is the nodal agency for the operationalisation
of the scheme throughout the country.
Deendayal Upadhyaya Gram Jyoti Yojana (DDUGJY) envisage creation of basic electricity
infrastructure in villages / habitations, strengthening & augmentation of existing
infrastructure, metering of existing feeders / distribution transformers / consumers to
improve quality and reliability of power supply in rural areas. Besides this, last mile
connectivity and free electricity connections are also provided to BPL households only
identified by the States as per their list. However, in villages which are electrified in past for
a long period, many households do not have electricity connections for many reasons. Some
of the really poor households do not have BPL cards but these households are not capable
of paying applicable initial connection charges. There is also lack of awareness as to how to
get connection or taking connection is not an easy task for illiterate people. There may not
be electricity pole nearby and the cost of erection of additional pole, conductor is also
chargeable from the households for obtaining a connection.
Similarly in urban areas, Integrated Power Development Scheme (IPDS) provides for
creation of necessary infrastructure to provide electricity access but some households are
not yet connected mainly on account of their economic condition as they are not capable of
paying the initial connection charges.IncorrectThe beneficiaries for free electricity connections would be identified using Socio Economic
