What To Do If LPG Subsidy is Not Received?
LPG Subsidy is one of the benefits offered by the Indian government to individuals, while procuring their gas cylinders for the month. The government has introduced the DBTL PAHAL scheme, that allows individuals to receive their subsidy directly into their bank accounts, so as to facilitate easy transfer of funds as well as to prevent fraudulent transactions and misuse of the subsidy.
Once they have applied for this scheme, individuals will have to check the status of their subsidy application. In order to apply for this scheme, individuals will have to compulsorily provide their Aadhaar card details.
However, despite these measures, there are times wherein individuals don't receive their subsidies in their account. There could be numerous reasons as to why this has occurred. But regardless of the reasons, this inconvenience highly discourages individuals from wanting to procure the DBTL PAHAL scheme.
The following paragraph will talk about the common reasons as to why LPG subsidy is not credited to the bank account of the individual along with solutions for the same.
