The Central Government willl launch Direct Benefit Transfer scheme for LPG in 20 districts from June 1.
Union Petroleum and Natural Gas Minister Dr. M. Veerappa Moily, who made this announcement here this evening, said all Aadhaar-linked domestic LPG users will get the subsidy in advance in their bank accounts as they book the first subsidized cylinder even before delivery.
Dr. Moily asked LPG consumers to immediately get Aadhaar number and link LPG consumer number and bank account with the Aadhaar number.
The DBT scheme aims to curb leakages, prevent black-marketing and provide subsidy directly to consumers in their bank accounts.
