Subsidy Amount on LPG
Here are some pointers to help you check the credited subsidy amount in your bank account and the process
- When the customer registers for the subsidy, an advance deposit is made into his or her bank account. This is a one-time, permanent deposit for a one-year subscription to LPG cylinders. Following this, no deposits are made in that year.
- Customers are limited to a certain number of cylinders per year and must pay the current market price when booking a cylinder.
- If the customer decides to discontinue the scheme or the LPG cylinder connection, the dues will be adjusted accordingly.
