Frequently asked questions

What does PMUY provide to eligible beneficiaries?

A free LPG connection — the security deposit and first refill/stove cost are waived or covered, though the beneficiary typically pays for subsequent refills at market price (with an EMI option for the stove/first refill in some cases).

Who is eligible for Ujjwala Yojana?

Adult women from BPL households, SECC-listed households, or specific categories (SC/ST, forest dwellers, tea/ex-tea garden tribes, Antyodaya Anna Yojana beneficiaries, and more) without an existing LPG connection in the household.

Can a household with an existing LPG connection get a second one under PMUY?

No — PMUY is meant for households without any existing LPG connection. A household that already has one is not eligible for a PMUY connection.
