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

- (a)  &  (b)  :        PDS  Kerosene  is  supplied  to  Kerosene  Wholesalers  on  Ex-MI  (Marketing Installation)   basis   by  Public  Sector  Oil  Marketing  Companies  (OMCs).    Further,

distribution  of  PDS  kerosene  within  the  State  to  the  ration  card  holders  through  ration shops/retailers is controlled and supervised  by the State Government.

Public Sector OMCs have reported that based on the inspections conducted by them and reports received from respective District/State Authorities, 90 cases of irregularities like adulteration, black marketing, diversion, pilferage and other irregularities in distribution  of PDS kerosene were detected during the last three years and current year (April-September, 2015).  During this period, 3 kerosene wholesalers were terminated  for  irregularities such as  diversion/black  marketing  of  kerosene.  The  State-wise  and  OMC-wise  details  of irregularities detected and action taken thereon for last three year and current year (AprilSeptember, 2015)  is at  Annexure-I  and II respectively.

(c)  :   State-wise details of the per capita allocation and consumption of kerosene in the country during each of the last three years and the current year  are at  Annexure-III and Annexure-IV respectively.

The  variation  in  the  per  capita  allocation  is  on  account  of  historical  allocation, difference  in  LPG  coverage  etc.  The  scale  of  PDS  Kerosene  allocation  to    beneficiaries under various categories such as Antyodaya Anna Yojana,  Below Poverty Line is  done by the State/UT Governments.

The    Government  allocates  PDS  Kerosene  to  States/UTs  including  the  State  of Gujarat  on  quarterly  basis  for  distribution  under  PDS  for  cooking  and  illumination  only. Further distribution within the States/UTs through their PDS network to various categories of  ration card holders as per their respective criteria, is the responsibility of the concerned States/UTs.

In response to the requests of various State Governments for  increased allocation of PDS Kerosene, the Government has  allowed the States/UTs to draw one month quota of PDS  Kerosene    at  non-subsidized  rates  during  each  financial  year  w.e.f.  2012-13  for special needs.

(d)  &  (e)  :  Government  of  India  intends  to  implement  Direct  Benefit  Transfer  Scheme  in kerosene in 25 Districts identified by the State Governments, on a Pilot basis.
