If you want to continue receiving subsidy benefits on LPG cylinders, linking your Aadhaar card with your LPG connection is a must. The government offers this subsidy through the Direct Benefit Transfer for LPG (DBTL) scheme, under which the subsidy amount is credited directly to the consumer’s bank account after booking a cylinder.

Consumers can link their LPG connection to Aadhaar in three simple ways – online, offline, and through the call center. Once the process is complete, every time you book a cylinder, the subsidy will automatically be transferred to your bank account.

What Is LPG Subsidy?

The Government of India provides financial assistance on domestic LPG cylinders to eligible households. When you book a refill, you initially pay the full market price. After delivery, the subsidy amount is reimbursed directly into your bank account.

The subsidy amount is not fixed—it can range anywhere from ₹79 to over ₹300, depending on market conditions and government policies. For many families, this subsidy plays an important role in reducing household expenses.

How to Link LPG Connection With Aadhaar

1. Online Method (Quick and Convenient)

This is the fastest way to complete the process:

Visit the official website of your LPG provider (Indane, HP Gas, or Bharat Gas).
Look for options such as Join DBTL or Link Aadhaar.
Enter your LPG consumer number, registered mobile number, and Aadhaar number.
Click Submit. You will receive an OTP on your registered mobile or email.
Enter the OTP for verification.
Once verified, your LPG connection will be successfully linked to Aadhaar.

This method is ideal for those who prefer to complete the process from the comfort of their home.

2. Offline Method (For Areas With Limited Internet Access)

If online linking isn’t convenient, you can use the offline process:

Download Form 2 from your LPG provider’s website and take a printout.
Fill in all the required details accurately.
Attach a self-attested photocopy of your Aadhaar card.
Submit the form to your nearest LPG distributor’s office.
After verification, your LPG connection will be linked to Aadhaar.

This option is useful for people in rural areas or those who prefer in-person assistance.

3. Call Center Method (Toll-Free Helpline)

The call center method is also hassle-free:

Call the toll-free number 1800-2333-555 from your registered mobile number.
Follow the IVR (Interactive Voice Response) instructions.
Select the option to link Aadhaar with LPG.
Provide your LPG ID and Aadhaar number when prompted.
After successful verification, your Aadhaar will be linked to your gas connection.

Why Linking Aadhaar With LPG Is Important

Direct Subsidy Transfer: The subsidy goes directly into your bank account, reducing the risk of delays or fraud.
Mandatory for Benefits: Without linking, you may not be eligible to receive subsidies.
Ease of Process: With multiple methods available, consumers can choose the most convenient option.

Final Takeaway

Linking your Aadhaar card with your LPG connection is a simple but crucial step to continue receiving subsidies of up to ₹300 per cylinder. Whether you choose the online portal, offline form submission, or the toll-free call center method, the process is straightforward. By completing it on time, you ensure uninterrupted access to government benefits under the DBTL scheme.
