SHRI RAMESWAR TELI
(a) As on 01.02.2023, approximately 29.02 crore LPG consumers are enrolled under PAHAL scheme. Under PAHAL Scheme, the LPG cylinders are sold at non-subsidised price and the applicable subsidy to LPG consumers is transferred directly into the bank account of the consumers. The subsidy is transferred either through Aadhaar Transfer Compliant (ATC) or Bank Transfer Compliant (BTC) mode. PAHAL has helped in identifying ‘ghost’ accounts, multiple accounts and inactive accounts. This has helped in curbing diversion of subsidised LPG to commercial purposes.
(b) As on 01.02.2023, the number of domestic LPG connections blocked due to inactive or duplicate connections is 4.1 crore. The details of subsidy on LPG given by the Government during the last three years are as under :-
