The Government on Saturday said it has launched the direct subsidy transfer scheme for domestic cooking gas consumers in 18 districts.
Minister of Petroleum and Natural Gas M. Veerappa Moily launched the scheme at Tumkur near Bangalore on Saturday, a Government statement said.
With this scheme in place, the subsidy on LPG refills in the districts would be provided directly to consumers in their Aadhaar-linked bank accounts. Over 67 lakh consumers in these districts will benefit from the scheme, the statement said.
All Aadhaar-linked domestic cooking gas consumers will get an advance in their bank accounts as soon as they book the first subsidised cylinder (before delivery). As soon as the first subsidised cylinder is delivered to such consumers, the next subsidy will again get credited in their bank accounts, which would then be available for the purchase of the next subsidised cylinder at the market rate.
