Ujjwala LPG: ₹300 Subsidy on 4 Cylinders
The Ujjwala Yojana LPG subsidy has changed. Beneficiaries now get ₹300 off on their first 4 cylinders per year — down from 9. Here's who qualifies and how to claim it.
₹300 saved per cylinder = 60 cups of chai at your local tapri
Your LPG cylinder now costs less — but only for 4 refills a year
Key Takeaways
Check your Ujjwala eligibility at pmuy.gov.in or call the LPG helpline 1906 to confirm your account is DBT-linked.
Ensure your Aadhaar is seeded with your bank account and LPG consumer number — otherwise the ₹300 credit won't reach you.
Track your subsidy credits in your bank passbook or via the UMANG app after each of your first 4 cylinder bookings this year.
The Ujjwala Yojana LPG subsidy has changed. Beneficiaries now get ₹300 off on their first 4 cylinders per year — down from 9. Here's who qualifies and how to claim it.
Here's what happened: Under PMUY, subsidised LPG cylinders for eligible households have been revised from 9 to 4 per year, with ₹300 subsidy per cylinder.. The ₹300 benefit is credited directly to the beneficiary's bank account via Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) after purchase.. Eligible households are BPL families who received a free connection under PM Ujjwala Yojana — primarily women from below-poverty-line households..
What you should do: Check your Ujjwala eligibility at pmuy.gov.in or call the LPG helpline 1906 to confirm your account is DBT-linked.. Ensure your Aadhaar is seeded with your bank account and LPG consumer number — otherwise the ₹300 credit won't reach you.. Track your subsidy credits in your bank passbook or via the UMANG app after each of your first 4 cylinder bookings this year..
If your DBT transfer fails even once due to a name mismatch between Aadhaar and bank records, contact your bank branch immediately — unclaimed subsidies lapse and are not auto-reprocessed.
