About Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana (PMUY)
Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana (PMUY) is a flagship welfare scheme launched by the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas in May 2016. The scheme provides free LPG connections to women from eligible households to encourage safer and cleaner cooking fuel adoption.
Under Ujjwala 2.0, launched in 2021, the application process became simpler for migrant families through self-declaration support and streamlined documentation requirements. The scheme is implemented through Oil Marketing Companies such as Indian Oil, HPCL, and BPCL.
Applications for Ujjwala Yojana are processed only through official government channels and authorised LPG distributors. Bajaj Finance is not an application channel for PMUY connections. However, users can conveniently manage LPG refill bill payments through Bajaj Pay BBPS after receiving an active LPG connection.
