Ministry of Petroleum has customized the scheme for direct cash subsidy for consumers of cooking gas as per which it will be extended even to those who do not have an Aadhar card.The scheme takes effect in 54 districts Saturday and the rest of the country from Jan 1.Consumers who had joined the scheme earlier and had received cash subsidy in their bank accounts do not need to do anything further. To confirm, they should check their cash transfer compliant status on http://www.mylpg.in/
Consumers who affirm that they do not have Aadhaar number can receive cash directly in their bank account without producing Aadhaar. But as and when they get Aadhaar, they may have to shift to Aadhaar-based cash transfer.
Consumers who are not compliant for cash transfer, will get a three month grace period, during which they will receive the cylinders at subsidised rates. After that, they will get an additional period of three month as parking period.
During the parking period, they will have to buy cylinders at market rates. Once they do join the scheme within the parking period, they will again be eligible for the subsidy, which will be transferred directly to their bank accounts. This apart, there will also be a permanent advance deposited in the bank accounts of the eligible consumers, as soon as they make the first booking for a cylinder.
