Why partner with Vortex

Less paperwork. More cases. Clear money.

You know the DISCOM. Vortex brings the customers, fills in the papers and keeps the case moving; you file, follow up and get the meter in.

Every paper, filled in

Application details, specifications, single-line diagram, net-metering agreement, self-declaration, landlord NOC, work completion report, DCR undertaking with serials, PCR, certificate and site photos, in English or Hindi.

Customers choose you

On their agreement, customers choose to file themselves or pick a net-metering partner, seeing each one's rating and fee.

Your fee, paid directly

Today ₹1,000 per kW. Half when you file with the DISCOM, half when the net meter is installed.

DISCOM charges, clear

Collected from the customer at actuals and paid on by you, with the receipt in the case within 2 days.

Guided steps

Each step needs its proof and has target days, so nothing is forgotten and stuck cases are flagged early.

Loan customers too

When a customer takes a loan, Vortex pays your fee and the DISCOM charges from it by bank transfer.

The case

From application to subsidy, one step at a time.

Every case moves through the same steps, each with its proof and its target days. You always know what is next, and so does the customer.

Example case

Target days for each step, counted from the step before, as set for UP DISCOMs today. A case past its target shows up as stuck.

Each step needs its proof before the case moves on.

The papers

Filled in before you open the case.

Vortex fills in the papers from the customer's details, the design and the installation. Manufacturers' DCR and test papers are kept once per product.

The makers' DCR and test certificates are kept once per product.

Your fee

Half at filing. Half when the meter is in.

Your fee is set by Vortex's rate card, shown to the customer before they choose you, and paid to you directly. The DISCOM's charges are separate, at actuals, never marked up.

How you join

Six steps to your first case.

Your area's manager takes you through them, and your first filings are audited with you.

  1. 1

    Apply with a code

    Your details here and a code to your mobile. Your area's manager hears at once.

  2. 2

    Screening call

    A short call about the DISCOMs you know and the cases you have filed.

  3. 3

    KYC and checks

    Aadhaar, PAN, bank and a selfie, checked by your area's manager, plus references.

  4. 4

    Terms and training

    You accept the terms when you apply; training covers the steps and their proofs.

  5. 5

    Three audited filings

    Your first three filings are checked with you.

  6. 6

    Live in the app

    You start on probation with your own login: cases appear as customers choose you.

The terms

The terms, in plain words.

Money first. You accept the full terms when you apply, with the code sent to your mobile.

How you are paid

  1. 1

    Your fee: per kW, fixed when chosen

    Your fee is the plant's size in kW times the per-kW rate on Vortex's rate card. Today's rate is ₹1,000 per kW. The customer sees the fee before choosing you, and it is fixed once they choose you. A later rate change applies to new cases only.

  2. 2

    Customer pays you directly: half, then half

    The customer pays you, not Vortex. They pay 50% when your DISCOM application number is in the case, and 50% when the photo of the installed net meter is in the case. Ask for UPI or a bank transfer to your own verified account. If the customer pays in cash, give a signed receipt. Vortex holds nothing and deducts nothing. Example: 3 kW at today's rate = ₹1,500 + ₹1,500.

  3. 3

    DISCOM charges: exact amount, receipt in 2 days

    Collect from the customer only what the DISCOM bills, and only when it is due. Add no mark-up and no 'file charge'. Pay it to the DISCOM through its official portal or counter. Within 2 days, upload the receipt, in the customer's name, to the case. You never pay DISCOM charges from your own pocket.

  4. 4

    Loan customers: Vortex pays you by bank

    If the plant is on a loan arranged through Vortex, the customer pays you nothing. Vortex pays your fee and the DISCOM charges out of the loan, in one bank transfer to your verified account, once enough of the loan has reached Vortex. Vortex tells you the bank reference (UTR). Only TDS is deducted, and only where the law requires it.

  5. 5

    No commission, no joining fee

    Vortex takes no commission from your fee. It charges nothing to join, to train or to be listed. Any change to this would come with at least 15 days' notice and would apply to new cases only.

  6. 6

    Cancelled or moved case

    If the customer cancels before you file, no fee is due. If they cancel after you file, you keep the first half and the second half is not due. Unspent DISCOM money goes back within 7 days. If a case is moved because you did not fix your own error, you refund the first half within 7 days.

  7. 7

    Money problems: talk, then Vortex mediates

    Raise a money problem in writing, with your proof, ideally within 30 days. You and the other side then have 72 hours to settle it. After that, Vortex mediates using the receipts and UTRs. Vortex does not guarantee money that never passed through it.

Uttar Pradesh DISCOMs only, for now

Today the cases are for LESA, MVVNL, PVVNL, DVVNL, PuVVNL, KESCO and NPCL. Vortex's other areas are still being built, so no net-metering work there is promised.

Vortex prepares papers; you file

Vortex fills in the papers in English or Hindi and is responsible for mistakes in them. You check them with the DISCOM office, then file, follow up, and upload proof at every step until the commissioning report (JCR).

Customer's OTP first, data private

Act only after the customer agrees with a one-time code (OTP). Use their details only for their case and delete your copies when it closes. Report any leak to Vortex within 24 hours. Never change their contact details on DISCOM records.

No bribes, no false papers, no electrical work

Never pay or offer a bribe or 'speed money'. Never fake a receipt, a photo or a signature. Never touch the meter or the wiring: the DISCOM fits the meter, and Vortex's installation team does the wiring.

Ratings decide your standing

You start on probation, and good customer ratings move you up to active, silver and gold. Any penalty point puts you on 'warned', and you get no new cases. 10 points means suspension. Vortex always tells you why, and you can reply within 7 days.

Independent partner; end with notice

You run your own business, you are not Vortex's employee, and you may work for others. Either side can end the partnership with 15 days' notice, and open cases are finished or handed over fairly. A dispute with Vortex that is not settled goes to arbitration in Lucknow.
