If you live in Jalore district, Rajasthan, there’s great news for you! The government has launched a new initiative under the National Food Security Scheme, offering LPG cylinders at a discounted price of just Rs 450.
However, there are some eligibility requirements and rules that must be followed to receive this benefit. Here’s what you need to know.
Seeding Campaign Details
To take advantage of this scheme, an Aadhaar and LPG seeding campaign will be held from November 5 to November 30 in Jalore district.
This means the campaign started on November 5, and during this time, all ration cardholders must link their Aadhaar cards with their LPG IDs.
You can complete this process by visiting your local ration shop, where shopkeepers will use a POS machine to link Aadhaar, e-KYC, and LPG IDs.
Required Documents
1) Aadhaar card (for all family members)
2) Completed e-KYC process
3) LPG ID
4) Gas connection diary and past bills
Benefits of Aadhaar and LPG Seeding
Linking your Aadhaar and LPG ID has several important benefits:
1) Only those who truly need the subsidy will receive it.
2) People who fraudulently receive subsidies will no longer be able to do so after the seeding process.
3) After successful seeding, beneficiaries will easily access both ration and LPG cylinder benefits.
What If You Don’t Have Aadhaar or e-KYC?
If you or any member of your family hasn’t completed the Aadhaar or e-KYC process, you won’t be able to receive benefits from the scheme.
To avoid any issues, make sure all family members complete the e-KYC process before applying.
How to Avail the LPG Cylinder Benefit
To get an LPG cylinder for Rs 450 under this scheme, follow these steps:
1) Complete the Aadhaar and LPG seeding process at your local ration shop.
2) Shopkeepers will verify that the e-KYC process has been done correctly for all the required documents.
3) Once verified, you’ll be able to purchase the LPG cylinder at the reduced price of Rs 450.
Seeding Process at Ration Shops
The seeding process will be carried out using Point of Sale (POS) machines. Family members must register their Aadhaar number
and LPG ID in the POS machine, which will send this information to the government system for verification. Once complete, the seeding process will be finished.
Objective and Benefits of the Scheme
The primary goal of the scheme is to provide affordable LPG cylinders to economically disadvantaged families. Here are the key benefits:
1) LPG cylinders will be available at a significantly lower cost, helping families save money.
2) By receiving a subsidy, even poor families can use clean fuel for cooking, improving their health by avoiding smoke from wood fires.
3) LPG is an eco-friendly fuel, which helps protect the environment.
4) With the subsidy, citizens can reduce their financial strain and manage their household expenses more effectively.
This initiative aims to make life easier and healthier for the people of Jalore district by providing affordable access to LPG cylinders.
