Benefitting almost 67 lakh LPG Consumers, the subsidy on LPG cylinders in the districts would be provided directly to consumers in their Aadhar linked bank accounts.
These are the districts which are covered for Aadhar-Gas Linkage, the people in these districts must compulsorily link their accounts to get the subsidy ---- Anantpur, Chittoor, East Godavari, Hyderabad, Ranga Reddy, Bilaspur, Hamirpur, Una, Diu, North Goa, Tumkur, Pathanamthitta, Wayanad, East Nimar (Khandwa), Harda, Wardha, Pondicherry, SBS Nagar / Nawanshahar.
All Aadhaar linked domestic LPG consumers will get an advance in their bank account as soon as they book the first subsidized cylinder before delivery. As soon as, the first subsidized cylinder is delivered to such consumers, the next subsidy will again get credited in their bank account, which can then be available for the purchase of the next subsidized cylinder at market rate.
All LPG consumers who have not linked their Aadhaar number to LPG consumer number and their bank account will have three month grace period from date of launch to do so. During this period they will continue to get the LPG cylinders at subsidized rate, as they are getting today, up to the cap of 9 cylinders.
After the end grace period i.e. w.e.f. 01.09.2013, LPG cylinders will be sold to all domestic LPG consumers at market price. However, the subsidy will be transferred to only those who have linked Aadhaar number to LPG consumer number and Bank account and others will not get any subsidy.
