"Maharashtra has 184.66 lakh LPG consumers, of which 83.34 lakh consumers have already become CTC," it said, advising the remaining consumers to register themselves.
Those wishing to register need to link the Aadhar number with their bank account, or if they do not have an Aadhar yet, to link their bank account directly with their 17 digit LPG ID, a statement from BPCL said.
On joining the scheme, a consumer will have to pay for the LPG bottles at market prices, but will get the government subsidy -- Rs 568 per cylinder at present -- directly into the bank account.
In the pilot phase, Rs 624 crore has been transfered to over 20 lakh consumers in the state, it said.
Interestingly, 12,000 citizens in the state have opted not to be a part of the scheme stating that they do not need the subsidy.
