Both offline and online methods will be available for those who wish to apply for subsidies. Those who wish to apply online can leave a missed call on 7011311111 and will be sent an application form.

Those applying for subsidy till October 31, will have to fill the form by September 30 and will be paid subsidy of the month, he said, adding that people can apply for subsidy every month.
