LPG Subsidy
The LPG gas subsidy is a targeted financial benefit from the Government of India that helps eligible households afford domestic LPG cylinders. Under the current framework for FY 2025-26, extended by the Union Cabinet on 8 August 2025, only Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana (PMUY) beneficiaries receive an active per-refill subsidy of Rs. 300 on each 14.2 kg cylinder, for up to 9 refills a year. The total outlay for FY 2025-26 is Rs. 12,000 crore, covering 10.33 crore PMUY connections.
The subsidy is credited through Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT), also called DBTL or PAHAL, directly to the beneficiary's Aadhaar-seeded bank account, usually 2 to 4 working days after the refill is delivered. Non-PMUY, or general-category, households currently pay the market price without an active per-refill subsidy.
This is how the LPG subsidy and LPG cylinder subsidy work today, so check your category before you expect a credit. Once your refill is delivered, you can book the next one and pay at market price online through Bajaj Pay, the Bharat Connect platform on Bajaj Finance.
How to apply for LPG subsidy
The LPG subsidy process has two parts: getting a PMUY connection and seeding your Aadhaar and bank account for DBT. Follow these steps:
Step 1 — Apply for a PMUY connection (if you do not have one): Visit pmuy.gov.in or any IndianOil, BPCL or HPCL distributor with your Aadhaar, proof of eligible-household status (SECC 2011 data, ration card or the required declaration) and a women-headed household declaration. PMUY 2.0 and 3.0 connections include a deposit-free regulator, pressure gauge, Suraksha hose, DGCC booklet, and a first refill and stove at no cost.
Step 2 — Seed your Aadhaar with your LPG ID and bank account for DBT: This is what releases the Rs. 300 per-refill subsidy. Visit mylpg.in, log in with your LPG ID and registered mobile number, open Join DBTL, upload your Aadhaar and link your bank IFSC and account number. Offline, visit your distributor with the same documents. Once seeded, the LPG gas subsidy is auto credited 2 to 4 working days after each delivered refill.
Because LPG subsidy India rules change, confirm the latest documents and steps on mylpg.in before applying.

Benefits of getting LPG subsidy
The LPG subsidy under PMUY in 2026 saves eligible households up to Rs. 2,700 a year while supporting clean-cooking adoption. Its main benefits are:
- Cost savings: PMUY beneficiaries save Rs. 300 per 14.2 kg cylinder, up to Rs. 2,700 across 9 refills a year.

- Environmental impact: LPG lowers reliance on wood and coal, cutting deforestation and emissions.
- Ease of access: The subsidy is credited directly to your bank account, ensuring transparency.
How much can you save with LPG gas subsidy?
For Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana (PMUY) beneficiaries in 2026, the lpg gas subsidy is Rs. 300 per 14.2 kg domestic cylinder for up to 9 refills a year. The maximum annual saving works out to Rs. 300 × 9 = Rs. 2,700 per household. The subsidy is pro-rated for 5 kg cylinders.
By way of history, the PMUY subsidy started at Rs. 200 per cylinder in May 2022 with a 12-refill cap, was raised to Rs. 300 in October 2023, and the FY 2025-26 framework caps it at 9 refills a year.
Non-PMUY, or general-category, households currently pay the market price without a per-refill lpg cylinder subsidy. For reference, the market price of a 14.2 kg cylinder in Delhi in March 2026 was around Rs. 913 after the Rs. 60 hike that month. Because the LPG subsidy india rates change, verify the current figures before you rely on them.

Method What to look for Typical timeline mylpg.in login Cylinder Booking History shows Subsidy Transferred or Subsidy Not Transferred for each refill Updated after each refill Bank net or mobile banking Recent transactions with a credit narration such as DBTL, LPG SUB or PAHAL 2 to 4 working days after refill SMS from your oil company IndianOil, BPCL or HPCL sends the subsidy amount and a transaction reference 2 to 4 working days after refill If the status shows Subsidy Not Transferred, the most common reason is that your Aadhaar-bank seeding is pending. Complete the DBT seeding on mylpg.in, then check again after your next refill to receive your LPG gas subsidy. Because LPG subsidy India processes change, confirm the current steps on mylpg.in before acting.
