Managing electricity bills is about to become much easier for millions of consumers. The Government's digital document platform, DigiLocker, has expanded its services by integrating 68 electricity distribution companies (DISCOMs) and power departments across the country.

With this update, consumers in 35 States and Union Territories can securely access their electricity bills directly through the DigiLocker app or website, eliminating the need to maintain physical copies or search through old emails.

What Has Changed?

DigiLocker now allows users to fetch issuer-verified electricity bills directly from participating electricity providers. Once linked, the bills are stored digitally and can be accessed anytime from a smartphone or computer.

Key Benefits for Consumers

The new integration offers several advantages:

• Access electricity bills anytime, anywhere.

• No need to store paper bills.

• Retrieve verified bills instantly when required.

• Useful for loan applications, address verification, and official documentation.

• Secure storage under the Government-backed DigiLocker platform.

1. Log in to your DigiLocker account.

2. Go to the Issued Documents section.

3. Search for your electricity distribution company.
