Now the subsidy on gas cylinder is over
Let us tell you that from March 2015, the Modi government started the initiative to send the subsidy given on domestic cooking gas directly to the bank account of the beneficiary. People then used to get 12 cylinders every year on subsidy. After the Corona epidemic, the subsidy given on LPG started decreasing. Earlier, the government had started a campaign to voluntarily give up subsidy from the people. However, during the pandemic, the subsidy ended for everyone. Now only those who get the connection under the Ujjwala Yojana are given subsidy on LPG cylinders.
