# What Should You Know About BEE Star Labelled Appliances

BEE star labels help Indian consumers compare energy consumption and make purchasing decisions.

• Ratings range from 1 to 5 stars, with higher ratings indicating greater energy efficiency within comparable product categories.
• Refrigerators, air conditioners, washing machines, and other appliances fall under BEE labelling programmes.
• Higher-rated models can reduce electricity expenses over time, depending on usage and tariffs.
• Compare purchase prices, energy consumption, capacity, and label validity before buying.

You can also buy a new appliance on Easy EMIs at over 1.5 lakh partner stores across 4,000 cities, including Reliance Digital, Croma, and Vijay Sales. Check your loan eligibility online in minutes so you know exactly what you can get before you step into the store.

The Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE) star label helps Indian consumers compare appliance energy efficiency on a scale of 1 to 5 stars. A higher rating generally indicates lower electricity consumption among comparable models. Checking these ratings when buying refrigerators, air conditioners, or washing machines can help reduce electricity expenses.

You can buy an appliance through Easy EMIs when your preferred model is eligible and available at a partner store, making it simple to upgrade without paying the full amount upfront. Here is what the process looks like.

• Visit more than 1.5 lakh partner stores across 4,000+ cities, including Jaipur, Lucknow, Kochi, and Bhopal
• Choose your preferred model and use the Bajaj Finance Insta EMI Card or Easy EMI Loan
• Convert the purchase cost into Easy EMIs that suit your monthly budget

➜ Pro tip: Zero down payment is available on select models, so ask the store executive if your chosen appliance qualifies before you check out.

The Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE) covers household and commercial appliances under its Standards and Labelling programme. Some categories require star labels, while others participate voluntarily.

• Keep in mind: Check the label's validity period and annual electricity consumption before comparing models. A higher star rating generally indicates lower energy consumption within the same product category and rating period.

BEE star-rated appliances help Indian households compare energy consumption and estimate electricity expenses before purchasing.

• Lower electricity consumption: Higher-rated models generally use fewer units of electricity than comparable lower-rated models.
• Reduced electricity bills: Lower power consumption can reduce monthly expenses, depending on usage and electricity tariffs.
• Long-term savings: Electricity savings over several years may offset a higher purchase price.
• Reduced environmental impact: Using less electricity can help reduce emissions associated with power generation.
• Informed purchasing: BEE labels provide efficiency information to compare products, including refrigerators under Rs. 5,000 to Rs. 10,000.

• Energy-saving features: Some models include inverter technology and sensors that adjust power consumption according to operating needs.

  
  

  Keep in mind: Compare appliances of similar capacity and check their label validity periods. Star ratings do not guarantee longer lifespan, better performance, or government subsidies.

Buyer scenario: 

Priya, a working professional in Pune, needs an AC for her 110 sq. ft. bedroom. She chooses the Panasonic 1 Ton 4 Star model at Rs. 34,990. Assuming zero interest and zero down payment, a 12-month Easy EMI plan would cost approximately Rs. 2,916 per month, excluding applicable charges.

This calculation is an estimated example for illustration purposes only and does not reflect the actual product price or EMI available in store.

Bajaj Finance offers two ways to convert your refrigerator purchase into affordable monthly payments. Both options are available at over 1.5 lakh partner stores across 4,000 cities in India.

How to choose?

Both options require you to be physically present at a partner store. The Insta EMI Card suits shoppers who want to buy across multiple categories over time. The Easy EMI Loan suits buyers financing a higher-value refrigerator purchase in a single transaction.

Upgrading to a new refrigerator is simple and affordable with Bajaj Finance's in-store financing options. The entire process usually takes just 10 to 15 minutes. Follow these steps:

1. Browse models on Bajaj Mall: Explore the range of refrigerator models available on Bajaj Mall. Compare brands, thermostat types, and prices before heading to the partner store.
2. Find a partner store near you: Use the Bajaj Finance store locator to find a nearby partner outlet such as Croma, Vijay Sales, or other authorised retailers.
3. Check the refrigerator in person: Visit the partner store and explore available models. Check thermostat type, star rating, and app connectivity to find the one that suits your needs.
4. Choose a suitable EMI option: At checkout, ask the store executive about the Bajaj Finance Insta EMI Card or Easy EMI Loan. Confirm available tenure options and whether your chosen model comes with a zero down payment offer.
5. Complete payment and take your refrigerator home: Once approved, your purchase is processed immediately, and you can schedule delivery or installation at your convenience.

You can also check your loan eligibility online in advance by entering your mobile number and OTP, helping you plan your purchase better.
