LPG Subsidy: If you have an LPG connection under the PM Ujjwala Scheme, this news regarding the ₹300 subsidy on gas cylinders may be useful to you. Under the government’s current system, eligible Ujjwala beneficiaries receive a Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) subsidy of ₹300 per cylinder for the first four refills of the 14.2 kg cylinder.

It is worth noting that the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas released this information on June 7, 2026. In Delhi, the price of a 14.2 kg LPG cylinder for regular consumers is ₹942; however, for PMUY beneficiaries, the effective price for these refills becomes ₹642 after receiving the ₹300 DBT assistance.

Who is eligible for the ₹300 subsidy?

Please note that this ₹300 subsidy is not for all LPG consumers; it is a targeted subsidy for those eligible under the PM Ujjwala Scheme. According to the government, PMUY beneficiaries receive ₹300 in assistance for the first four refills of the 14.2 kg cylinder in a year. This amount is transferred directly to the beneficiaries’ bank accounts via DBT. This means that if an eligible beneficiary receives the ₹300 subsidy on all four refills, the total assistance amounts to ₹1,200.

How to check if the LPG subsidy has been credited to your account

If you are a PMUY beneficiary and want to know whether the gas cylinder subsidy has been credited to your account, start by checking your bank account statement. Additionally, you can verify details regarding your connection and subsidy through your LPG distributor’s official services or the customer service department of the respective LPG company. If the subsidy amount does not appear in your bank account, ensure that your KYC details and DBT disbursement settings are correct.

Who will not receive the ₹300 subsidy?

The most important point to note is that the ₹300 subsidy is not being provided to every LPG customer; this amount is available only to those eligible under the PMUY (Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana). Consequently, if you hold a standard domestic LPG connection that was not obtained under the PMUY, you will not receive the ₹300 subsidy upon booking a cylinder. The government had clarified in a statement issued in June 2026 that regular consumers would not be entitled to this benefit.

How many beneficiaries will receive the scheme’s benefits?

According to media reports, the number of connections under the PMUY has crossed 10.58 crore. The government states that it is providing this targeted subsidy to PMUY beneficiaries to keep LPG more affordable.

Will the ₹300 subsidy continue in the future?

Based on information available as of September 18, 2026, the targeted subsidy of ₹300 applies to the first four refills. Any future changes to the duration or amount of the subsidy will be implemented based on new government directives.
Do not place any faith in claims circulating on social media suggesting that everyone—or all LPG consumers—will receive a monthly subsidy of ₹300; such claims are being made without any official order to that effect.
