Diwali Gift: 1.84 Lakh Beneficiaries To Receive Free LPG Cylinder Under PM Ujjwala Yojana
In celebration of Diwali, the central government will provide free LPG gas cylinders to 1,84,039 beneficiaries under the Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana (PMUY). While consumers must initially pay the full amount in cash for the cylinder, the subsidy will be credited to their bank accounts within three to four days by oil companies.
Eligibility Criteria for Free LPG Cylinders
This special Diwali benefit under PMUY will only be available to consumers who have completed their Aadhaar authentication. In the district, there are currently 2,19,667 consumers registered under PMUY, of whom 1,84,039 have completed the e-KYC process and are eligible for the subsidy.
Approximately 35,628 consumers have yet to complete their Aadhaar verification, and the District Supply Office (DSO) has instructed all gas agencies to ensure that 100% of beneficiaries are Aadhaar-authenticated. The government has also planned to offer free LPG cylinders to beneficiaries on Holi, making these festive incentives available twice annually.
