Ujjwala Yojana 2.0 New Connection and Subsidy Status 2026

To check your Ujjwala Yojana 2.0 status in 2026, use the official portals. Track a new LPG connection application at your gas company, such as Indane, Bharat Gas or HP Gas. Check your LPG subsidy, the PAHAL cashback to your bank, at your gas company portal or at the official LPG portal mylpg.in. The PMUY portal pmuy.gov.in is where you apply, not where the subsidy is paid.

This page explains the two different status checks, the details you need, and what to do if your subsidy is not received or your application is stuck.

If you are short on time: jump to How to check your Ujjwala status. Use only official portals. Never pay extra for a free connection and never share your OTP.

Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana (PMUY) 2.0 gives a free LPG connection to women from poor households. The Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas runs it through the oil marketing companies — Indian Oil (Indane), Bharat Petroleum (Bharat Gas) and Hindustan Petroleum (HP Gas). Under Ujjwala 2.0, the connection is deposit free, and the first refill and the stove are also free, so a beneficiary makes no payment for the connection, the first refill or the stove (Press Information Bureau, PRID 2154117, 8 August 2025 — pib.gov.in).

PMUY beneficiaries also get a targeted LPG subsidy. For the financial year 2025 to 2026, the government approved a subsidy of ₹300 per 14.2 kg cylinder for up to 9 refills in the year (PIB, PRID 2154117). Confirm the current rate and refill cap on the official source, as the government revises it.

Key benefits at a glance:

The scheme has completed over 10 crore (100 million) LPG connections since its original launch in May 2016 (pmuy.gov.in). Ujjwala 2.0 began on 1 October 2021 with a target of 1 crore additional connections, later expanded.

For a broader overview of the scheme's structure and history, see our guide: Ujjwala Yojana explained. For the full scheme directory, visit all government schemes on RTI Wiki.

These are two different checks. Knowing the difference saves time.

• New connection status answers, “Is my Ujjwala connection coming?” You track this at your gas company, using your application or request details.
• Subsidy status answers, “Did my LPG cashback reach my bank?” The subsidy is paid by Direct Benefit Transfer under PAHAL straight to your bank account (Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas, PAHAL page — mopng.gov.in). You check this at your gas company portal or at mylpg.in.

So the connection check lives with the gas company, and the subsidy check lives at the gas company or mylpg.in, not on the PMUY application portal.

For step-by-step guidance on both types of status checks, see our detailed guide: LPG subsidy status check guide.

1. Note which gas company you applied to: Indane, Bharat Gas or HP Gas.
2. Open that company portal. For Bharat Gas, the official status page asks for your Request ID and Date of Birth, then sends an OTP to your mobile.
3. Enter the details and the OTP to see your application status.
4. For Indane, log in at cx.indianoil.in. For HP Gas, use myhpgas.in.

Confirm the exact field names on each gas company portal, as they update their pages.

1. Open the official LPG portal mylpg.in, or your gas company portal.
2. Choose your gas company.
3. Use the option to view your subsidy or cashback history.
4. You usually need your LPG ID or consumer number and your registered mobile number.

Confirm the exact subsidy check option and the ID format on mylpg.in or your gas company portal before relying on it.

For more details on new gas connection status across companies, see: new LPG gas connection status check 2026.

• Your gas company name, Indane, Bharat Gas or HP Gas.
• Your Request ID or application number for a new connection.
• Your LPG ID or consumer number for the subsidy check.
• Your registered mobile number and the OTP sent to it.
• Your bank account number or passbook (to confirm subsidy credits).
• Your Aadhaar number linked to the bank account (for PAHAL DBT).

If you are unsure whether your bank account is properly linked to Aadhaar for DBT payments, check our guide: check if your bank account is DBT-linked. For common Aadhaar seeding failures that block LPG subsidies, see fix Aadhaar seeding for LPG, ration and pension.

Per the official PMUY portal (pmuy.gov.in), to apply for an Ujjwala 2.0 connection:

• The applicant must be a woman who has attained 18 years of age.
• There must be no other LPG connection from any oil marketing company in the same household.
• The woman must belong to a poor household, shown by a deprivation declaration in the set format.

The portal lists eligible groups such as SC households, ST households, PMAY (Gramin), Most Backward Classes, Antyodaya Anna Yojana, tea and ex tea garden tribes, forest dwellers, people on islands and river islands, and SECC households (pmuy.gov.in).

If your application was rejected on eligibility grounds and you believe it was wrongful, see application rejection recovery hub or use our RTI for Ujjwala connection guide.

The official portal lists these for a new connection:

• KYC application form.
• Proof of identity, an Aadhaar copy of the applicant.
• Proof of address, needed only if the Aadhaar address is different; migrants may give a self declaration as per Annexure I.
• Ration card or other state document showing family composition; migrants may self declare.
• Aadhaar copy of adult family members.
• Bank account details, a passbook copy or cancelled cheque.
• Deprivation declaration.

(Source: pmuy.gov.in). Confirm the current list on the official portal before you apply.

For the full document checklist with formats and download links, see: documents required for LPG connection.

The PAHAL subsidy is paid to your bank account, so a missing subsidy is often a bank or seeding issue. Common reasons:

Steps to resolve:

1. Check your bank passbook or statement for the credit, as it goes straight to the bank, not to the gas company.
2. Confirm your bank account is linked to Aadhaar and active. See check if your bank account is DBT linked.
3. View your subsidy history on mylpg.in or your gas company portal.
4. If it still does not show, raise a grievance through the channels below, or use the official PAHAL grievance form.

For DBT money not credited across schemes, see DBT money not credited — fix guide. For e-KYC failures, see DBT e-KYC failed — fix guide.

1. For a pending new connection, check the status at your gas company and contact your distributor for the next step.
2. For a rejected application, ask the distributor for the exact reason and the missing document.
3. Fix the gap and reapply, or use the grievance and RTI routes below.
4. If you are unsure why a decision was taken, see our application rejected recovery hub.

For scheme-specific rejection recovery, see PMAY rejection recovery as a parallel example. The CPGRAMS complaint guide walks you through filing a central government grievance.

Under Ujjwala 2.0, a beneficiary is not required to pay for the connection, the first refill or the stove, as the government and the oil companies bear the cost (PIB, PRID 2154117 — pib.gov.in).

So if a distributor or agent demands extra money for a free connection or first refill:

1. Do not pay, and do not share your OTP.
2. Note the date, the person and the amount asked.
3. Report it to the gas company toll free helpline and through the official grievance system below.

For LPG overcharging complaints, see our guide: LPG overcharge and extra delivery charge complaint. For broader PNG/LPG disputes, see PNG/LPG surrender complaint (PNGRB).

Use only official channels.

Safety note: this page does not give gas handling advice. For a suspected leak or any LPG safety issue, stop using the cylinder, and call the emergency helpline 1906 or your distributor at once.

For women-facing safety concerns, the Women Helpline 181 is also available.

If the helpline and the gas company do not give you a clear answer, the Right to Information Act, 2005 lets you ask in writing. LPG distribution runs through public sector oil companies, which are public authorities for RTI. You can file an RTI with the Public Information Officer of the concerned oil company.

You can ask for:

• The status and file movement of your new connection application.
• The reason your application was delayed or rejected, with the rule relied on.
• The dates and amount of subsidy or PAHAL transfers credited against your LPG ID.
• The action taken on your complaint against the distributor.

A simple RTI request looks like this.

To,
The Public Information Officer,
[Indian Oil / Bharat Petroleum / Hindustan Petroleum, your region]

Subject: Information under the RTI Act, 2005 about my LPG connection and subsidy

Under Section 6(1) of the RTI Act, 2005, please provide:
1. The status and file movement of my new connection application/Request ID [your ID].
2. The reason for delay or rejection of my application, with the rule relied on.
3. The dates and amount of subsidy/PAHAL transfers credited against my LPG ID [your ID].
4. The action taken on my complaint dated [date] against distributor [name].

I am ready to pay the prescribed fee under Section 7. Please reply within 30 days.

Name:
Address:
Date:

The Public Information Officer must reply within 30 days under Section 7(1). If there is no reply or an unclear one, file a first appeal under Section 19(1) within 30 days. Draft the letter with our AI RTI Drafter and build the appeal with the deemed refusal first appeal template. For strategy on first vs second appeals, see first appeal vs second appeal strategy.

For a dedicated RTI template for this exact situation, see: RTI for LPG PAHAL subsidy not credited. For broader scheme delay RTIs, see RTI for government scheme delay. For the full RTI-for-Ujjwala guide, see RTI for Ujjwala connection. For a sample LPG delay RTI application, see sample RTI for LPG delay.

Check it at the gas company you applied to. For Bharat Gas, the official status page asks for your Request ID and Date of Birth, then sends an OTP. For Indane, log in at cx.indianoil.in, and for HP Gas use myhpgas.in. The PMUY portal is for applying, not for tracking the connection. For a detailed walkthrough, see Ujjwala Yojana status check.

The subsidy is paid by PAHAL straight to your bank, so first check your bank passbook. To see your subsidy history, use the official LPG portal mylpg.in or your gas company portal, with your LPG ID or consumer number and registered mobile. The PMUY application portal does not show subsidy transfers. For step-by-step instructions, see LPG subsidy status guide or LPG subsidy status check 2026.

A common reason is that the bank account is not linked to Aadhaar or is inactive, since PAHAL pays to the bank. Confirm your account is DBT linked, check your statement for the credit, and view your subsidy history on mylpg.in or your gas company portal. If it still does not show, raise a grievance through the official channels. See DBT money not credited fix and Aadhaar seeding fix guide.

Under Ujjwala 2.0, the connection is deposit free, and the first refill and the stove are free, so a beneficiary makes no payment for these (PIB, PRID 2154117 — pib.gov.in). If anyone demands extra money for a free connection or first refill, do not pay and report it through the official helpline and grievance system. See also LPG overcharge complaint guide.

Call the LPG Emergency Helpline 1906 at once, and contact your distributor. Stop using the cylinder and follow the safety steps your distributor advises. This page does not give gas handling advice, so always rely on the official emergency helpline and your distributor for any safety issue.

Yes. Open pmuy.gov.in/ujjwala2 and choose your gas company, Indane, Bharat Gas or HP Gas, or apply at the distributor. The applicant must be a woman aged 18 or above, with no other LPG connection in the household, from an eligible poor household with a deprivation declaration. For the full document checklist, see documents for LPG connection.

For FY 2025–26, the government approved a targeted subsidy of ₹300 per 14.2 kg cylinder for up to 9 refills in the year for PMUY beneficiaries (PIB, PRID 2154117 — pib.gov.in). The rate is revised periodically, so confirm the current amount on pmuy.gov.in or mopng.gov.in.

Once your application is submitted on pmuy.gov.in and your documents are verified, the distributor typically issues the connection within 7 to 15 working days, depending on your location and document completeness. If it takes longer, check the status at your gas company portal and follow up with the distributor. If the distributor is unresponsive, file a grievance on mopnge-seva.in or use RTI — see RTI for Ujjwala connection.

Yes. LPG connections are portable across India. You can transfer your connection to a new distributor in another city by submitting a transfer request at your current distributor or through your gas company portal. The PMUY subsidy and free-refill benefits continue at the new location as long as you remain an eligible beneficiary. For more on connection transfers and portability, see new LPG connection status guide.

Yes. Oil marketing companies (IOCL, BPCL, HPCL) are public authorities under the RTI Act. You can file an RTI with the PIO of the concerned company asking for the status of your subsidy transfers and the reason for non-credit. For a ready-to-use template, see RTI for LPG PAHAL subsidy not credited or RTI for LPG subsidy.

Yes. Ask your distributor for the rejection reason in writing. If the reason is incorrect or unclear, you can reapply with corrected documents, file a grievance on mopnge-seva.in, or file an RTI to get the file details. See our application rejection recovery hub for step-by-step guidance across schemes.
