Question

Pratyaksh Hanstantrit Labh (PaHaL) scheme is a DBT (Direct Benefit Transfer) scheme. It aims to reduce diversion and eliminate duplicate or bogus LPG connections. Under PaHaL, LPG cylinders are sold at market rates and entitled consumers get the subsidy directly into their bank accounts.
Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana (PMUY-I) was launched in May 2016 to provide LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) connections to poor households.
PMUY-II was announced in Union budget for FY 21-22 for an additional one crore LPG connection. It is aimed to provide maximum benefit to the migrants who live in other states and find it difficult to submit address proof. A self-declaration for both ‘family declaration’ and a ‘proof of address will suffice. Now they will only have to give “Self Declaration” to avail the benefit.
