PMUY Extension: Modi Cabinet has made a big announcement for women on the occasion of International Women’s Day. It has been decided to extend the subsidy of Rs 300 given by the government to the beneficiaries of Ujjwala scheme for one year. Under this, 12 cylinders will be available annually. This scheme will continue till 31 March 2025. Announcing the extension of the scheme for one year, Union Minister Piyush Goyal said that the Cabinet has approved to continue the subsidy of Rs 300 to the customers of PM Ujjwala Yojana till March 31, 2025. He said that the total expenditure on this will be Rs 12,000 crore.

First subsidy of Rs 100 from the government

This decision, which came before the Lok Sabha elections, is being considered as a big step of the government. As per rules, the government pays Rs 300 for eligible beneficiaries for up to 12 refills of LPG cylinder in a year. Earlier, a subsidy of Rs 100 was being given on this by the government. But in October 2023, the subsidy amount was increased from Rs 100 per cylinder to Rs 300. The price of 14.2 kg LPG cylinder in New Delhi is Rs 903. Now when the beneficiaries of Ujjwala scheme will get subsidy of Rs 300 on the cylinder, then this cylinder will cost them Rs 603.

Benefit of Ujjwala scheme

The government transfers Rs 1600 to the eligible candidates for a new gas connection with a 14.2 kg gas cylinder. This amount is Rs 1150 for 5 kg cylinder.

> Cylinder security deposit Rs 1250 for 14.2 kg cylinder or Rs 800 for 5 kg cylinder
> Rs 150 for regulator
> Rs 100 for LPG hose
> Rs 25 Domestic Gas Consumer Card
> Rs 75 inspection/installation/demonstration charges

Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana (PMUY) was started in 2016. Its objective was to provide LPG connections to five crore female members of Below Poverty Line (BPL) families in the first phase. The scheme was expanded in April 2018 to include women beneficiaries from seven more categories (SC/ST, PMAY, AAY, Most Backward Class, Tea Garden, Forest Dwellers, Islands). In the second phase, the target was increased to eight crore LPG connections.

How to apply

The enrollment process for PMUY Ujjwala 2.0 requires minimal paperwork. Apart from this, migrants will not be required to submit ration card or address proof to avail the benefits. They need a self-declaration for both ‘family declaration’ and ‘proof of address’.
