Every household is entitled to 12 cylinders of 14.2 kg each at subsidized rates in a year. Beyond that, customers need to make any additional purchases of LPG cylinders at the market price. Under the PAHAL (Direct Benefit Transfer of LPG) scheme, consumers get LPG cylinders at a subsidized rate. The subsidy depends on several factors such as foreign exchange rates, and crude oil prices.
The government earlier this month has also extended the ₹200 per LPG cylinder subsidy under the Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana (PMUY) by one year in the wake of high prices of petroleum products in the international market.
The Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs has approved a subsidy of ₹200 per 14.2 kg cylinder for up to 12 refills per year to be provided to the beneficiaries of PMUY, I&B Minister Anurag Thakur told reporters.
The subsidy is credited directly to the bank accounts of the eligible beneficiaries.
