Linking your Aadhaar card with your LPG (cooking gas) connection is an important step to receive the Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) subsidy directly into your bank account. This process ensures transparency, prevents fraud, and helps in getting the subsidy amount without delay. In this article, we’ll explain why linking is necessary, the different ways to do it, and step-by-step instructions for each method.
Why You Should Link Aadhaar with LPG Connection
The Indian government started the PAHAL (Pratyaksh Hanstantrit Labh) scheme to transfer LPG subsidies directly into the bank accounts of eligible users. For this, your Aadhaar must be linked to:
- Your LPG consumer number.
- Your bank account.
Once both are linked, the subsidy amount is credited directly to your bank, and you can buy cylinders at market prices.
