Link Aadhaar card to LPG from PAHAL
An LPG connection is integral to everyday life, and the government's PAHAL scheme aims to streamline the subsidy process. To avail of the subsidy, individuals must link their LPG connection number to their Aadhaar number, both online and offline.
The subsidy, an initiative to promote safer and environment-friendly measures, is also encouraging rural areas to switch from traditional 'CHOOLHA.' The government urges wealthier sections to forgo their subsidy, redirecting it to the free distribution of LPG gas burners in rural regions.
Tips to check the LPG subsidy amount
Here are tips on checking the credited subsidy amount and the process:
- An advance deposit is made at registration, serving as a one-time deposit for LPG cylinders within the year.
- Customers pay the current market price while booking a cylinder, with a specific yearly limit.
- If a customer discontinues the scheme or LPG connection, dues will be adjusted accordingly.
