In detail

"Pratyaksh Hanstantrit Labh / Direct Benefits Transfer For LPG (PAHAL)" launched by the Ministry Of Petroleum and Natural Gas, ensures transparency by transferring LPG subsidies directly to consumers' bank accounts, eliminating diversion and reducing subsidy leakages. It empowers users, improves delivery, and enables self-selection for subsidy, with provisions for Aadhaar-linked and non-Aadhaar-linked accounts. This initiative protects consumer entitlement, prevents fraud, and promotes efficient subsidy management.

Who qualifies

  • The combined taxable income of the applicant and their spouse should not exceed ₹10,00,000 in the previous financial year, as per the Income Tax Act, 1961.

What you get
