🔍 How to Check LPG Subsidy Through CSC – A Simple Step-by-Step Guide

Many people in India use LPG cylinders (gas cylinders) for cooking at home. The government gives LPG subsidy to customers under schemes like PAHAL (DBTL) and Ujjwala Yojana. This subsidy is directly credited to the user’s bank account after every refill.

Sometimes, people don’t know whether they have received the subsidy amount or not, or if it has been stopped. In such cases, Common Service Centres (CSCs) can help people check their LPG subsidy status easily.

In this blog, we will explain how to check LPG subsidy using CSC services in simple words – step by step. This will be helpful for both citizens and CSC VLEs.

🏠 What is LPG Subsidy?

The Government of India gives financial assistance (discount) on LPG cylinders to eligible households. This amount is called LPG subsidy, and it is credited to your bank account after you buy a gas cylinder.

For example, if the market price of a cylinder is ₹1100, and the subsidy is ₹200, you will pay ₹1100 at the gas agency but get ₹200 back in your bank account.

🎯 Who Gets LPG Subsidy?

You can get LPG subsidy if:

You have a valid LPG connection from HP Gas, Bharat Gas, or Indane
Your bank account is linked with Aadhaar
You are enrolled under PAHAL scheme
Your annual income is below ₹10 lakh (for regular subsidies)
Or you are a beneficiary of Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana

🧾 Documents Needed to Get Subsidy

To receive LPG subsidy, these things must be in place:

Aadhaar Card
LPG Consumer Number
Bank Account Number (linked with Aadhaar)
Mobile Number (preferably registered with LPG distributor)

If your Aadhaar is not linked with LPG and bank account, you may not receive the subsidy.

✅ How to Check LPG Subsidy Through CSC?
