पेट्रोल ियम एवं प्राक ृ तिक गैस मंत्रािय में राज्य मंत्री (स्विंत्र प्रभार) (श्री धमेन्द्र प्रधान)

MINISTER OF STATE (INDEPENDENT  CHARGE)  IN THE MINISTRY OF PETROLEUM & NATURAL GAS (SHRI DHARMENDRA PRADHAN)

- (a)  to  (c)  LPG  consumers,  who  join  the  PAHAL  scheme,  get  the  LPG  cylinders  at non-subsidised price and receive LPG subsidy (as per their entitlement) directly into their  registered  bank  accounts.  LPG  consumers  are  required  to  become  Cash Transfer Compliant (CTC) after seeding their bank accounts and Aadhaar number to receive LPG subsidy in their registered bank account under PAHAL Scheme. The main  objectives  of  the  Scheme  are  to  eliminate  supply  chain  leakages  and unauthorised usage by curbing multiple connections by way of Aadhaar based deduplication.

Lower subsidy during the successive years is due to various factors, including introduction of direct transfer of subsidies into the accounts of consumers (PAHAL Scheme), fall in international crude oil prices and 'GiveItUp' campaign.

(d)  State/UT-wise  details  of  LPG  connections  released  to  BPL  families  under Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana(PMUY) Scheme as on 12.07.2017 is at Annexure-I and  CSR  connections  released  under  CSR  fund  scheme  is  at Annexure-II. The release  of  LPG  connections  under  CSR  fund  of  oil  PSUs  has  been  discontinued w.e.f. 01.04.2016.

(e) Under the PMUY Scheme, during Financial Year 2016-17, Rs. 2500 crore was spent. During the first quarter of Financial Year 2017-18, Rs. 800 crore (approx.) has been spent against the budget provision of Rs. 2500 crore.  In addition, Rs. 1100.43 crore was spent on releasing connections through utilising CSR funds of Oil PSUs.
