| + | ====== 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. | ||

| + | ===== What is Ujjwala Yojana 2.0 and what do beneficiaries get? ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | 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 — [[https:// | ||
| + | |||
| + | 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: | ||
| + | |||
| + | | Benefit | What it means | Who pays | | ||
| + | | **Deposit-free connection** | No security deposit for the cylinder and regulator | Government + oil companies | | ||
| + | | **First refill free** | First 14.2 kg cylinder supplied at no cost | Government | | ||
| + | | **Free stove (hotplate)** | A cooking stove is provided with the connection | Government | | ||
| + | | **Targeted subsidy (PAHAL)** | ₹300 per cylinder (FY 2025–26), up to 9 refills/ | ||
| + | |||
| + | 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, | ||
| + | |||
| + | For a broader overview of the scheme' | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===== New connection status vs subsidy status — what is the difference? ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | These are two different checks. Knowing the difference saves time. | ||
| + | |||
| + | * **New connection status** answers, "Is my Ujjwala connection coming?" | ||
| + | * **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 — [[https:// | ||
| + | |||
| + | 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. | ||
| + | |||
| + | <WRAP info> | ||
| + | **Common confusion: | ||
| + | </ | ||
| + | |||
| + | For step-by-step guidance on both types of status checks, see our detailed guide: [[check-status: | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===== How to check your Ujjwala status — step by step ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== A. New LPG connection application status ==== | ||
| + | |||
| + | - Note which gas company you applied to: Indane, Bharat Gas or HP Gas. | ||
| + | - 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. | ||
| + | - Enter the details and the OTP to see your application status. | ||
| + | - For Indane, log in at [[https:// | ||
| + | |||
| + | Confirm the exact field names on each gas company portal, as they update their pages. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== B. LPG subsidy (PAHAL) status ==== | ||
| + | |||
| + | - Open the official LPG portal [[https:// | ||
| + | - Choose your gas company. | ||
| + | - Use the option to view your subsidy or cashback history. | ||
| + | - 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. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== Status check process summary ==== | ||
| + | |||
| + | ^ What you want to check ^ Where to check ^ What you need ^ How long it takes ^ | ||
| + | | New connection status | Gas company portal (Indane / Bharat Gas / HP Gas) | Request ID + Date of Birth + OTP on registered mobile | 2–5 minutes | | ||
| + | | LPG subsidy (PAHAL) credit | mylpg.in or gas company portal | LPG ID / consumer number + registered mobile | 2–5 minutes | | ||
| + | | Subsidy in bank account | Bank passbook, UPI app, or net banking | Bank account number / Aadhaar-linked account | Instant (check statement) | | ||
| + | | PMUY application submission | pmuy.gov.in (application portal only) | Mobile number + OTP | 2–3 minutes | | ||
| + | | Complaint status | mopnge-seva.in or gas company grievance portal | Complaint / reference number | 1–2 minutes | | ||
| + | |||
| + | <WRAP tip> | ||
| + | **Quick tip:** If you applied for a new connection and cannot find your Request ID, check the SMS or email confirmation you received when you submitted the application. Your distributor can also look it up using your registered mobile number. | ||
| + | </ | ||
| + | |||
| + | For more details on new gas connection status across companies, see: [[new-lpg-gas-connection-status-2026|new LPG gas connection status check 2026]]. | ||
| + | |||

| + | * 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). | ||
| + | |||

| + | |||
| + | ===== Why is your Ujjwala subsidy not credited to your bank? ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | The PAHAL subsidy is paid to your bank account, so a missing subsidy is often a bank or seeding issue. Common reasons: | ||
| + | |||
| + | | Likely cause | How to fix it | | ||
| + | | **Aadhaar not linked to bank account** | Visit your bank to link Aadhaar, or check status at [[check-bank-account-dbt-linked-aadhaar-seeding-status|DBT linkage checker]] | | ||
| + | | **Bank account inactive or closed** | Reactivate the account or update your bank details with the gas company | | ||
| + | | **Aadhaar not linked to LPG ID** | Visit your distributor or use mylpg.in to link Aadhaar to your consumer number | | ||
| + | | **KYC/e-KYC not completed** | Complete e-KYC at the distributor or through the gas company portal | | ||
| + | | **Wrong bank account in records** | Submit a bank detail correction form to your distributor | | ||
| + | | **Subsidy credited but not visible** | Check your bank statement — the credit may show as " | ||
| + | |||
| + | Steps to resolve: | ||
| + | |||
| + | - Check your **bank passbook or statement** for the credit, as it goes straight to the bank, not to the gas company. | ||
| + | - Confirm your **bank account is linked to Aadhaar and active**. See [[https:// | ||
| + | - View your **subsidy history** on mylpg.in or your gas company portal. | ||
| + | - 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 [[check-status: | ||
| + | |||

| + | **Never pay anyone to " | ||
| + | </ | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===== What to do if your application is pending or rejected? ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | - For a **pending** new connection, check the status at your gas company and contact your distributor for the next step. | ||
| + | - For a **rejected** application, | ||
| + | - Fix the gap and reapply, or use the grievance and RTI routes below. | ||
| + | - If you are unsure why a decision was taken, see our [[rejection-recovery: | ||
| + | |||
| + | For scheme-specific rejection recovery, see [[rejection-recovery: | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===== What if a distributor asks for extra payment? ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | 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 — [[https:// | ||
| + | |||
| + | So if a distributor or agent demands extra money for a free connection or first refill: | ||
| + | |||
| + | - Do not pay, and do not share your OTP. | ||
| + | - Note the date, the person and the amount asked. | ||
| + | - 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-extra-delivery-charge-complaint|LPG overcharge and extra delivery charge complaint]]. For broader PNG/LPG disputes, see [[png-lpg-surrender-mandatory-complaint-pngrb|PNG/ | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===== How to file a complaint and reach the Ujjwala helpline? ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | Use only official channels. | ||

| + | ===== Can you use RTI to fix LPG delays and subsidy not credited? ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | 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. | ||

| + | ===== Frequently Asked Questions ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== How do I check my Ujjwala 2.0 new connection status? ==== | ||
| + | |||
| + | 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 [[https:// | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== How do I check my LPG subsidy status under Ujjwala? ==== | ||
| + | |||
| + | 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 [[https:// | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== Why is my Ujjwala subsidy not credited to my bank? ==== | ||
| + | |||
| + | 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 [[check-status: | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== Is the Ujjwala connection really free in 2026? ==== | ||
| + | |||
| + | 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 — [[https:// | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== What is the LPG emergency number if I smell gas? ==== | ||
| + | |||
| + | 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. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== Can I apply for an Ujjwala connection online? ==== | ||
| + | |||
| + | Yes. Open [[https:// | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== What is the PMUY refill subsidy amount in 2025–26? ==== | ||
| + | |||
| + | 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 — [[https:// | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== How long does it take to get an Ujjwala connection after applying? ==== | ||
| + | |||
| + | 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, | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== Can I transfer my Ujjwala connection to another city? ==== | ||
| + | |||
| + | 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, | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== Can I file an RTI for Ujjwala subsidy not received? ==== | ||
| + | |||
| + | 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|RTI for LPG PAHAL subsidy not credited]] or [[rti-for-lpg-subsidy|RTI for LPG subsidy]]. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== What if my Ujjwala application is rejected — can I appeal? ==== | ||
| + | |||
| + | 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, | ||
