Your LPG Subsidy Could Stop on October 1

Millions of Indian households — particularly Ujjwala Yojana beneficiaries — risk losing their LPG subsidy from October 1, 2026, if they fail to complete a mandatory e-KYC Aadhaar linkage before September 30. The petroleum ministry has issued fresh reminders this week as the deadline approaches.

Who Is Affected?

  • Ujjwala Yojana beneficiaries — the primary at-risk group.
  • General LPG subsidy recipients whose Aadhaar-bank linkage has not been verified in the last 12 months.
  • Consumers whose registered mobile number has changed since last KYC update.

How to Complete the Process

  1. Online: Visit mylpg.in. Log in with your registered mobile number. Navigate to 'e-KYC' and complete Aadhaar OTP verification.
  2. Via Distributor: Many distributors offer WhatsApp or app-based KYC. Contact your local distributor for the link.
  3. In Person: Visit your LPG distributor with Aadhaar card, registered mobile, and consumer number. Takes 10–15 minutes.

What Happens If You Miss It?

Your cylinder delivery continues, but the subsidy credit stops from October 1. You will pay the full market price — approximately ₹900–₹950 per cylinder — instead of the subsidised rate. Restoration after the deadline takes 2–4 weeks.

How Much Money Is at Stake?

The Ujjwala subsidy currently averages ₹200–₹300 per cylinder. For a family using 8–10 cylinders yearly, missing the deadline means a ₹1,600–₹3,000 annual loss until the subsidy is restored.

Key Takeaways

  • LPG subsidy stops October 1 for those who skip e-KYC Aadhaar linkage.
  • Complete at mylpg.in or visit your distributor before September 30.
  • Full market price ₹900–₹950 applies if subsidy is paused.
  • Ujjwala beneficiaries are the primary at-risk group.
