LPG subsidy remains an important benefit for households covered under the Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana (PMUY). Under the current system, eligible Ujjwala beneficiaries receive a ₹300 Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) subsidy on each of the first four refills of a 14.2 kg LPG cylinder in a year.
The Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas shared details of the subsidy on June 7, 2026. In Delhi, a 14.2 kg LPG cylinder costs ₹942 for regular domestic consumers. For eligible PMUY beneficiaries, the effective cost for the subsidised refills comes down to ₹642 after the ₹300 DBT benefit.
Who Can Get the ₹300 LPG Subsidy?
The ₹300 subsidy is a targeted benefit and is not available to every domestic LPG consumer.
Under the current arrangement, eligible PMUY customers receive ₹300 for each of their first four refills of a 14.2 kg cylinder during the year. The subsidy is transferred directly to the beneficiary’s bank account through the DBT system.
If a beneficiary receives the full ₹300 benefit on all four eligible refills, the total subsidy received during the year would be ₹1,200.
Regular LPG consumers who do not have a connection under the PM Ujjwala Scheme are not covered by this targeted subsidy.
How to Check Whether the Subsidy Was Credited
PMUY beneficiaries can first check their bank account statement to confirm whether the LPG subsidy has been deposited.
They can also verify their LPG connection and subsidy information through the official services provided by their LPG distributor or the customer support channel of the relevant LPG company.
If the expected ₹300 amount has not appeared in the bank account, beneficiaries should check whether their KYC information is updated and whether the DBT details linked to the LPG connection and bank account are correct.
How Many People Are Covered Under PMUY?
According to media reports, the number of LPG connections under the Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana has crossed 10.58 crore.
The targeted subsidy is intended to help eligible Ujjwala households manage the cost of LPG refills. The benefit is linked specifically to eligible PMUY connections rather than being available to all domestic LPG customers.
Will the ₹300 Subsidy Continue?
As of September 18, 2026, the ₹300 subsidy applies to the first four refills of a 14.2 kg cylinder for eligible PMUY beneficiaries.
Any change in the subsidy amount, eligibility or number of subsidised refills would depend on a fresh government decision or directive.
Consumers should also be cautious about social media messages claiming that every LPG customer will receive a monthly ₹300 subsidy. The current targeted benefit is specifically for eligible PMUY beneficiaries, and there is no official order in the information provided announcing a ₹300 monthly subsidy for all LPG consumers.
