DHBVN, the Dakshin Haryana Bijli Vitran Nigam, supplies and bills household and farm electricity in the southern districts of Haryana.

Lines used in fake DHBVN (Haryana electricity) messages

DHBVN: last month's bill unpaid, supply will be cut at 9:30 tonight
Meter KYC pending, update your consumer account today or lose the connection
Rooftop solar subsidy sanctioned, send bank details to receive it
Pay the old arrears to this UPI ID to avoid a disconnection fine

How to verify it yourself

Look up your account in the DHBVN app or on the utility's website, typed by hand, using the account number printed on your own bill. If a disconnection warning is real, the dues will show there too. Solar subsidies are applied for through the official government portal with a registered installer, and are never released after you pay a caller. Bill payments go to the utility's own gateway, not to a personal UPI ID. For doubts, walk into your sub-division office.

Quick checklist

Do not tap links or call numbers inside the message.
Open the official app, or type the official website yourself, and look for the same notice.
Never share an OTP, PIN, CVV or password with anyone, including "staff".
If money moved, call 1930 and your bank at once.
