Dear Experts,
My querry is regarding the LPG DBTL scheme. Can any body advise if a person, who has family in one state and residing herself/himself in some other state, apply for subsidy in both the connections.

In my case, my suster's family is in Odisha and she herself is in Delhi for job conditions. and has both 2 connections in both states. can she apply for subsidy in both the connections?

The subsidy is being released only to those who have Aadhar Card and linked it to their Bank Account.

One cannot get more than one Aadhar Card. And one cannot link more than one bank account to the Aadhar Card.

Therefore the question of anybody getting more than one subsidy simply does not arise.

Further, there is no provision for applying for subsidy. It is automatic.

I am sorry, but I beg to differ as Aadhar card is not mandatory for DBTL as of now, nor for banking purposes also.

Anyways, my query was specific to the petroleum ministry's guidelines in such conditions. any guidance on the same would be appreciated.

The LPG control order, 2000 and its amendment of the Government of India permits one LPG cooking gas connection to a household and restricts possession of more than one connection of LPG by a household under the public distribution system.
