Good news for ration card holders in Rajasthan! The government has announced a scheme to provide LPG cylinders at just ₹450 to eligible families. If you want to avail of this benefit, here’s how you can get started.

Who Can Avail This Scheme?

Under the National Food Security Act (NFSA), ration card holders—especially those below the poverty line—are entitled to this subsidy. Previously, only beneficiaries of the Ujjwala Yojana could get cylinders at this price, but the Rajasthan government has now extended this benefit to more families.

Steps to Get an LPG Cylinder for ₹450

  1. Link Aadhaar to Your Ration Card:

    • Visit your nearest fair price shop with your ration card and Aadhaar.
    • Complete the seeding process for all family members listed on your ration card using the POS machine.
  2. Link LPG ID with Your Ration Card:

    • Connect your LPG connection details with your ration card during the same process.
  3. Visit Your LPG Distributor:

    • Once your details are updated, visit your LPG distributor to confirm your eligibility.
  4. Avail the Subsidized Cylinder:

    • Eligible families can now purchase LPG cylinders at the subsidized price of ₹450.

Who Benefits?

  • Current Beneficiaries: 37 lakh families under the Ujjwala Yojana already receive subsidized cylinders.
  • New Beneficiaries: With this initiative, an additional 68 lakh families in Rajasthan will benefit.

Why This Scheme Matters

The Rajasthan government is expanding this initiative as part of its 2024-25 Budget Announcement, aiming to ease the financial burden of households. It ensures affordable cooking gas for over 1 crore families in the state under NFSA.
