How to check LPG subsidy / connection status — DBT-PAHAL (2026)

1. Visit mylpg.in → select your distributor.
2. Login with consumer number OR mobile + OTP.
3. Click PAHAL (DBTL) → see subsidy history per cylinder.
4. Verify Aadhaar-bank linkage status; if not done, KYC option in same dashboard.
5. For Ujjwala new connection status: contact distributor with reference number.
6. For discontinued subsidy: check “Give Up Subsidy” status — sometimes auto-flagged due to declared income.

What we hear from RTI Wiki users: Mrs. Singh, a 56-year-old housewife in Lucknow, noticed LPG subsidy stopped in Nov 2024. Earlier she got Rs. 200-300/cylinder; now zero. Filed RTI to MoPNG asking subsidy discontinuation reason + DBT trace + restoration process. Reply in 23 days revealed her PAN was flagged as IT-payer (incorrectly — her husband's PAN was used). Corrected via mylpg.in; subsidy restored within 30 days; back-payment of Rs. 2,400 credited.

• Aadhaar-bank not linked — DBT fails. Fix: visit bank.
• Income > Rs. 10 lakh self-declared — auto-disqualifies. Fix: re-declare if mistaken.
• KYC outdated — annual re-KYC needed. Fix: distributor visit OR mylpg.in.
• Multiple LPG connections detected — only one subsidy per household. Fix: surrender duplicate.
• Bank account dormant — DBT fails. Fix: revive account.
• Mobile not linked — OTP-based features fail. Fix: update at distributor.

• 1906 is a single LPG emergency number across all 3 PSU distributors — works for leakage + safety + booking.
• Ujjwala 2.0 — for migrant families without permanent address, only Aadhaar + self-declaration needed.
• Refill booking via SMS — 17-digit consumer number to distributor SMS shortcode (e.g., 7718955555 for IOC). Faster than IVR.
• Composite cylinder (5 kg) for urban single-person households — cheaper deposit, easier handling.
• Annual cap of subsidised cylinders = 12 per household. 13th onwards at market rate.

LPG: 1906 (24/7 emergency + booking) · IOC: 1800-2333-555 · BPCL: 1800-22-4344 · HPCL: 1800-2333-555
