Direct answer. Visit mylpg.in → Login with mobile/consumer number → Subsidy Received (PAHAL DBTL) → see history. Subsidy goes to Aadhaar-linked bank via DBT. Stopped subsidies typically due to KYC, Aadhaar-bank mismatch, or income > Rs. 10 lakh self-declaration.

Quick facts

What you need 17-digit LPG consumer number OR mobile
Official portal mylpg.in
Distributors Indane (IOC) · Bharatgas (BPCL) · HP Gas (HPCL)
Mobile app Indane Gas / Bharat Gas / HP Gas (each distributor)
Helpline 1906 (LPG emergency, all distributors) · IOC: 1800-2333-555
Statutory base PAHAL DBT scheme + Ujjwala Yojana 2016

Step-by-step

  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.

Real story from a citizen

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.

7 reasons your status may be stuck

  • 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  • KYC outdated — annual re-KYC needed.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.

Pro tips most don't know

  • 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.
