The NDA Government has made Aadhaar mandatory
for availing cooking gas (LPG) subsidies but has given two months grace
period for citizens to get the unique identification number.
Government currently gives 12 cylinders of 14.2-kg each at subsidised rates per household in a year. The subsidy on every cylinder is transferred in advance directly into bank accounts of individuals, who then buy the cooking fuel at market rates.
"Individual desirous of availing LPG subsidies are hereby required to furnish proof of possession of Aadhaar or undergo Aadhaar authentication," an Oil Ministry order said.
For those not yet having Aadhaar, it gave time till November 30, 2016 to make application for enrolment for the unique identification number.
