How To Link Your Aadhaar Card For LPG Subsidy

How To Link Your Aadhaar Card For LPG Subsidy

Many people know that there is a conscious effort by the Central Government to link Aadhaar card with the LPG connection. It is said that subsidies that were hitherto paid to the companies who sold the gas cylinders to customers at subsidized rates will now directly be credited to the bank account of the consumer concerned on booking the cylinder.


But the advantage will be available to the consumers only if they have linked their Aadhaar card with their bank account. Thus the pertinent question is how to link the card to LPG connection and bank account. Pertinent question is how to link Aadhaar card with bank account and LPG connection? This is a precondition for Direct Benefit Transfer Scheme for LPG. That means, to get subsidized LPG one needs to become Cash Transfer Compliant Customer or CTC.


Prerequisites for linking Aadhaar card with the LPG are as follows.

  • Consumer should have LPG connection in his or her name.
  • The consumer should also have an Aadhaar Card.
  • The consumer needs to submit application in Form No.1.
  • One can download the form from the website of Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas.
  • Forms can also be obtained from the LPG distributor or from the newspaper advertisement of UIDAI.
  • Consumer needs to link the bank account with Aadhaar Card. To do this the 12 digit Adhaar card number should be linked with it.
  • Linking can be done by visiting the bank branch or the distributor. In the later case the application can be put in the drop box.
  • Submitting the application personally in the bank would be the better way since the bank will offer the receipt.


  • After all these steps are completed, the next and final step would be linking the LPG to Aadhaar card with the LPG consumer number. This time the consumer will need two things; the name of the distributor and the LPG consumer number. This number is available on the first page of DGCC booklet or recent receipt of cylinder. If the address on the Aadhaar card varies from the address with LPG distributor a photocopy of the address proof and identity proof will suffice for linking.

    Benefits of Aadhaar Card (Indian Government Connected Scheme)

    Benifits of Aadhaar Card (Central Government Connected Scheme)

    Aadhaar Card is basically a scheme sponsored by the Government of India. It is aimed at providing unique and mobile identity to all residents of India. While the process of enrollment is simple, the authentication has been kept simple as well by the Unique Identification of India (UIDAI). However there are also several other benefits of Aadhaar Card and Central Government connected Scheme.



  • The Scheme is universally applicable across the entire country.


  • Only one Aadhaar number is allotted to one resident and thus helps identify a person universally


  • It will be applicable to all service providers and spares them the hassles of going through the process of Know Your Customer or KYC processes repeatedly.


  • It will allow the deprived and poorer sectors of the country get the services like banking, gas connection, and such other facilities.


  • Basically Aadhaar card is based on demographic as well as biometric information of the person concerned, it will also eliminate the threats of fraud. Chances of impersonation would be remote as the finger prints and other physical proof would be there to establish one’s true identity. Thus there will be virtual elimination of bogus identities. Aadhaar will facilitate authentication anytime from anywhere for any beneficiary and would ultimately become the single source for identification of Indian residents.

    One of the greatest benefits of Aadhaar is that it can be used at multiple places to reconfirm the identify of a person with ease and convenience. One can open bank accounts, make railway or air travel ticket booking online, can apply for passport and visa, and can use the card anywhere as proof of his identity. While the photo identity card was meant for the voters only, Aadhaar card is meant for all people in the country whether a voter or not.

    Last but not the least is the fact that Aadhaar will help people establish their identity remotely and online. Thus it offers great mobility for the users, especially those residing in rural pockets. It will also help service providing by Government as well as all other service providers easier and effective for the people.

    Different Indian Gov Scheme Connected With Aadhaar Card

    Aadhaar card sponsored by Government of India aims to become the base identification tool for the residents of India. Several schemes of central and state governments are connected with Aadhaar card or would be connected within the next few months to come if everything goes as planned. Initially at least a couple of schemes of government have been earmarked for linking with Aadhaar card are LPG and Bank Account of the consumers.

    Linking of schemes with Aadhaar card aims at linking the new and DBT bank accounts compulsory for all India, especially for those consumers having LPG in their names. The Direct Transfer Benefit scheme linked with LPG aims to make the use of Aadhaar card mandatory for the consumers having LPG number in their names.

    Other schemes that are attached or linked with Aadhaar card or are planned to be linked include


  • Bank transactions thru micro-ATM all over the country. It is also planned to make the use of Aadhaar card mandatory.


  • Use of Aadhaar card for mobile SIM card, passport, and provident fund schemes for the entire country shall be allowed though made optional.


  • Another scheme that is likely to be attached to the Aadhaar Card connection is the NREGA worksite attendance in phases throughout the country.

  • Some other schemes where the use and linking of Aadhaar card could be attendance of school staff, salary, wages, payments, and food securities, Kerosene subsidy, Janani Suraksha Yojna, Social security, old age pension,

  • While Aadhaar card is a centrally sponsored scheme, it has been adopted by several states in full or in part. Some of the states have made use of Aadhaar card for certain schemes compulsory and for other schemes optional. Government of India had aimed to introduce the use of Aadhaar card mandatory for LPG users. However, the Supreme Court of India clamped a ruling stating that use of Aadhaar card is not necessary for LPG users and for giving them subsidies.
    Due to such decision by the Supreme Court of India the scheme that was to be introduced with effect from the first day of December 2013 with grace period up to 28th February 2014 has been stalled for the time being.
