The Mera Bill Mera Adhikaar scheme, initiated by the central government on September 1st, aims to promote the practice of requesting bills for all purchases, fostering a cultural and behavioral shift among consumers to see it as their inherent right and entitlement.
This scheme has been launched as a pilot project in the states of Assam, Gujarat, and Haryana, along with the Union Territories of Puducherry, Daman and Diu, and Dadra Nagar Haveli.
According to a press release by PIB, the Mera Bill Mera Adhikaar scheme went live at midnight on September 1, 2023, and has already gained momentum with over 1.51 lakh downloads of the app and active consumer participation in the pilot program.
