Let’s dive in!
🛢️ What Is the ₹300 LPG Subsidy?
The ₹300 subsidy per LPG cylinder is being provided under the Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana (PMUY) and also to select non-PMUY domestic consumers. This subsidy aims to make LPG more affordable and encourage clean cooking fuel usage among low and middle-income families.
Earlier, the subsidy amount used to vary between ₹100 to ₹200 depending on the region and fuel cost. However, as of 2025, the government has fixed the amount at ₹300 per cylinder, applicable for up to 12 cylinders annually per family.
✅ Who Is Eligible for the ₹300 LPG Subsidy?
You are eligible to receive the ₹300 gas subsidy if you meet the following conditions:
- You are a registered LPG customer (Indane, Bharat Gas, or HP Gas)
- You have a domestic connection, either regular or under PM Ujjwala Yojana
- Your Aadhaar is linked to both your LPG connection and your bank account
- You have completed e-KYC, if applicable
- You do not fall under the high-income (taxpayer) category
Note: In some cases, even non-Ujjwala customers are receiving subsidies, especially if their income bracket is low or they qualify under special state schemes.
🏦 How Is the Subsidy Credited?
The subsidy is credited using the Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) system. This means the ₹300 per refill is automatically deposited into your linked bank account after delivery of the cylinder.
For example:
- If the market price of an LPG cylinder is ₹1100, and you qualify for a ₹300 subsidy,
- You will be charged ₹1100 at delivery,
- But ₹300 will be refunded to your bank account within 3–7 days.
