The government made a new plan for subsidizing cooking gas?

New Delhi: Amidst rising inflation, there is a lot of hope among the common people regarding the subsidy of LPG cylinder. In such a situation, people can get big news. It is a constant discussion that the price of LPG cylinder can touch the figure of 1000 rupees. The government’s side regarding the rising inflation of LPG cylinders has not come to the fore yet.

Commercial gas prices have increased this month as well. But an internal assessment of the government indicates that consumers are ready to pay up to Rs 1000 for a cylinder. According to sources, the government can take a decision on LPG cylinders in two ways. First, the government should supply cylinders without subsidy. Second, some selected consumers should also be given the benefit of subsidy.

Nothing has been clarified by the government about giving subsidy yet. But according to the information received so far, the rule of Rs 10 lakh income will be kept in force and the beneficiaries of Ujjwala scheme will get the benefit of subsidy. Let us tell you that the subsidy may end for the rest of the people.
Let us tell you that the subsidy on LPG has been stopped in some places for the last several months and this rule is running from May 2020. This step was taken only after the prices of crude oil and gas have fallen continuously during the Corona epidemic in the international markets. However, till this time the government has not completely stopped the subsidy on LPG cylinders.

The government’s expenditure on subsidies stood at Rs 3,559 during the financial year 2021. In the financial year 2020, this expenditure was Rs 24,468 crore. Actually this is under the DBT scheme, which was started in January 2015, under which the customers have to pay the full amount for the non-subsidized LPG cylinder. At the same time, the subsidy money is refunded to the customer’s bank account on behalf of the government. Since this refund is direct, the scheme is named DBTL.
The price of non-subsidized 14.2 kg cylinder has increased by Rs 15. With this, now the price of LPG cylinder in the national capital Delhi has increased from Rs 884.50 to Rs 899.50.
