If you are not getting subsidies on your cooking gas, here’s what you can do to get the benefits: Go to the bank, seed your Aadhar card number into your account, and submit the application form for subsidized LPG to the LPG vendors.
In case, you find it difficult, this post will help you understand it in a simple way. What do we have to do? Let’s find out.
Okay, the LPG subsidy will be credited to your bank account directly. It happens after you pay the actual price of LPG. The subsidy amount may be between ₹420 and ₹605. These subsidy rates may vary according to the type of LPG you are subscribed to. Is it for domestic purposes, or is it for commercial purposes? As a result, your eligible subsidy amount will be credited to your bank account.
Why is LPG subsidy not Credited?
There may be a reason for not getting a subsidy. This could be because of faulty seeding of Aadhar to your bank account. The subsidy is credited to your bank account through Direct Benefit Transfer, which is done under PFMS.
If you have not given the proper format to the LPG vendor, your LPG ID will not get linked to the bank account. However, you can check the LPG ID and bank account linking status on a dedicated government website.
How Should You Check the LPG Status?
| 1 | To access your LPG account, visit the official website https://mylpg.in/ and enter your LPG ID. |
| 2 | Please provide the necessary information based on the OMC LPG you are currently using. |
| 3 | Provide your 17-digit LPG ID and your registered mobile number. |
| 4 | Enter the captcha code and click Proceed. |
| 5 | An OTP (one-time password) will now be delivered to your registered mobile number. |
| 6 | Enter your email ID and create a password. |
| 7 | When you are done with the process, a link will be sent to your email ID. Open your email and click on the link. |
| 8 | It directs you to the webpage where you have to login with your email ID and password you just created. Your LPG details can be seen in the pop-up message. |
| 9 | Select and click the option “View Cylinder Booking History/Subsidy Transfer”. |
| 10 | You will now be able to check your LPG status. |
Is the LPG subsidy stopped paying?
LPG subsidy in India is still active. You may apply to get the benefit. On the same time, government is campaining a drive asking to give up LPG subsidy to the consumers to enable the government to use the huge amount of subsidy toward the development of other sectors.
How Much is the LPG subsidy?
How much the LPG subsidy is depends on your area as well as the type of LPG you are using. For instance, if you are using a 14.2 Kg LPG cylinder, you may get a subsidy in the range of ₹420 to ₹465 per refill.
And if you are using non-domestic LPG cylinders, which come under commercial LPG, you may get a subsidy of between ₹593 and ₹605.
Aadhar Seeding to Bank Account for LPG Subsidy
Seeding your Aadhar number into your bank account is easy. But, if you do not do it in the right way, it could create problems.
Okay, before coming into Aadhar seeding into the bank account, let us clarify one thing. Is an Aadhar card mandatory to get the subsidy?
The answer is no. Whether you have an Aadhar card or not, you can get the LPG subsidy. It is true, that with Aadhar things get a little bit easier. But you can apply for the benefit even without it.
Here’s how you seed your Aadhar number into your bank account.
| 1 | Some banks may have an online service to seed or link your Aadhar number into the bank account. As far as we have seen, though the sites have links to do the task, most of the time people face problems. Instead, it’s better to go for manual submission of Aadhar to the bank. |
| 2 | Go to the bank or download the Aadhar linking form. For instance, if you are an SBI customer, you can download the form from https://onlinesbi.sbi. Under the download section, you can find the Aadhar bank account linking form. |
| 3 | Submit the form to the bank, and get it linked or seeded to your bank account. If you are eligible for the subsidy, it will be credited to your bank account the next time you pay for a refill. |
The above process is for getting an LPG subsidy with Aadhar under the Direct Benefit Transfer of the PFMS. If you don’t have an Aadhar, here’s what you can do to get the benefit:
| 1 | You can approach the LPG dealer to capture your bank account and link it with the LPG ID. But, you have to ensure that your name and other personal details are precise with your bank account. There should not be any mismatches. For more details, visit the official website. |
| 2 | The good part is, that you can also visit the bank to link your LPD ID and bank account. Download Form 3, fill it up, and submit it to the bank. For instance, if you are an SBI customer, you can use this form. |
Conclusion
To get an LPG subsidy, either you have to seed your Aadhar number to the bank account or link the LPG ID with the bank account directly. Either way, it will work for you. You can also check the LPG linking status on the official site https://mylpg.in portal. If suddenly the subsidy stops crediting to your bank account, approach the LPG dealer to check the subsidy status.
