Biometric Aadhaar authentication mandatory for subsidised LPG refills from October 1, 2026
The government has announced that biometric Aadhaar authentication will become mandatory for obtaining subsidised domestic LPG refills from October 1, 2026. The move aims to streamline the distribution of subsidised cooking gas and prevent misuse of the subsidy scheme.
The new requirement will apply to all consumers seeking subsidised LPG cylinder refills. The authentication process will ensure that only eligible beneficiaries receive the subsidy benefit, tightening controls on the existing system.
