Aadhaar mandatory to avail LPG subsidy in DBTL districts

 

The Direct Benefit Transfer for LPG (DBTL) Scheme has been launched so far in 20 districts of the country covering 7.3 million LPG consumers. The list of districts is attached herewith. As per the scheme, cash subsidy is transferred for the LPG cylinders directly into the bank accounts of the LPG consumers while the sale happens at the market price. In order to avail transfer of cash subsidy into the bank account, Aadhaar number of the LPG consumer has to be linked to the LPG consumer number and the bank account of the LPG consumer for which a three month grace period from date of launch is provided.

 

So far around 3.5 million LPG consumers have already linked their Aadhaar numbers to the LPG consumer numbers and their bank accounts in the above 20 districts and 2.4 million consumers are already receiving the subsidy directly in their bank accounts. The DBTL scheme is now slated to be launched in another 34 districts of the country on 1.9.2013 covering 14.7 million LPG consumers. All LPG consumers of these 34 districts (as well as 20 districts covered earlier) are advised to obtain Aadhaar number and provide them to their LPG distributors and to their banks if they wish to avail of the LPG subsidy. It may be noted that Aadhaar number is mandatory for availing LPG subsidy in DBTL districts after the initial grace period of three months (this was confirmed by Petroleum Minister yesterday on 27/08/2013) . However, Aadhaar number is not required for availing LPG cylinders at non-subsidized rate.
