Rajashthan LPG Gas Cylinder Subsidy: The Bhajanlal Sharma government of Rajasthan will provide gas cylinders for Rs 450 to the families covered under the National Food Security Act (NFSA) apart from BPL and Ujjwala connection holders from September 1.
According to the guidelines of the Food and Civil Supplies Department, every family will be given a cylinder at a subsidized rate every month. However, these families will have to pay the same amount to the person delivering the cylinder as normal families pay. The subsidy rupees will be transferred directly to their bank account.
70 lakh families are getting benefits
Let us tell you that the state government is currently providing LPG cylinders at subsidized rates to about 70 lakh families associated with BPL and Ujjwala Yojana. Currently, there are more than one crore seven lakh 35 thousand families in the NFSA list.
The rest of the families will also get cheap cylinders
In this, there are about 37 lakh families who are also included in the list of BPL or Ujjwala gas connection holders. In this way, the remaining families, who are only in the NFSA list, will now get cheap cylinders.
Full price of cylinder will have to be paid before purchasing, subsidy amount will be credited to the account
Ramsingh Kumawat, operator of Shekhawati Gas Agency at Jhunjhunu district headquarters, says that to get the Rs 450 announced by the government, the consumer should first know the rules. It has to be understood whether he is eligible for the scheme announced by the government? If eligible, then he will have to first get KYC done. For a gas cylinder of Rs 450, the consumer will have to pay the full amount as per the price of the gas cylinder as announced and the amount mentioned on the bill.
After this, rs 450 will be cut from the total amount paid by the costumer and the remaining rupees will be transferred directly by the govt. to his registered bank account. Gas operator Ramsingh says that KYC work is being done daily in his gas agency office for the last several days. The consumer can come to the office and get KYC done.
