Financial Support for Three LPG Cylinders
Under the scheme, eligible households will receive financial assistance for three LPG cylinders annually. An assistance amount of ₹3,000 will be credited directly to eligible beneficiaries’ bank accounts.
The assistance is intended to provide meaningful relief to households towards their annual cooking-fuel expenses while ensuring that government support reaches beneficiaries through a transparent payment mechanism.
Importantly, the assistance amount will be determined annually based on the prevailing average retail price of domestic LPG, allowing the scheme to remain linked to the prevailing cost of cooking gas.
