A huge amount of Govt. money is spent on subsidy of petroleum products. The Govt. had to spend Rs. 1,39,869 crore on account of subsidy on petroleum products in the year 2013-14. As, the indigenous availability of crude Oil and LPG is limited, these are imported in huge quantities to fulfill the demand of the country. As Govt. provides domestic LPG and PDS Kerosene on subsidised price, this results in huge subsidy burden on Govt. Due to presence of dual pricing(subsidized and non-subsidized) in LPG and SKO, there is a diversion of subsidized LPG and Kerosene into commercial usage. Although Govt. has taken several initiatives to reduce this diversion of subsidized LPG and PDS Kerosene, public participation is solicited to suggest ways for reducing diversion in LPG and PDS Kerosene.

You are invited to suggest ideas to reduce diversion and the subsidy burden on account of LPG and Kerosene.

purpose of subsidy - to make sure the poor and middle class people get access to gas and encourage them to use healthy ways to cook. misuse of subsidy - yes, people are selling the subsidised cylinders. but we also know that they want to get the subsidy, they fear losing the subsidy. hence, government should form a team to check if the people are using them or not. and should cancel/ ban the subsidy of the connection " using Aadhar Card as reference. #petroleumsector #LPG #Mygov #subsidy

The limit to access the refill of gas cylinder to be increased from 6 months to one year. Many consumers who are not even utilizing the cylinder in 6 months have to go for supplying information to avoid blockage. e-Booking for cylinders and maintaining the individual records of LPG accounts can further strengthen the system. Link consumer information with e-KYC so that repeat information can be avoided. Make it hassle free and simplified by having single form for all companies.

As USA is not dependent on Saudi Arabia and other oil producing nations, we should strive to gain self sufficiency to get rid of oil deficit and dependency.

श्रीमान प्रधान सेवक ! देश के सभी 675 जिलों में सौर-उर्जा को बढ़ावा देते हुए इनसे जुड़े उपकरणों की उत्पादन क्षमता बड़ाकर इनकी कीमतों को कम किया जाये, ताकि सौर उर्जा के उपकरण हर वर्ग की पहुंच में आ जाये ? इससे सभी आत्म-निर्भर होंगे और भ्रष्टाचार पर भी लगाम लगेगी ?

1. Subsidy amount for LPG should be fixed, instead of depositing difference between actual price and subsidised price, government should deposite a fixed subsidy and the aim should be to reduce the amount slowly and gradually 2. Those who have surrendered gas subsidy should be given somelucrative tax advantages. 3. Government should heavily subsidese gober gas, solar energy initiative at locality level and provide expertise so that the projects become viable and attractive

Alternative methods like Gobar Gas, Solar Energy utilisation by burning electric stoves, Bio Fuel consumption are the alternatives. Mainly these should be practiced in Urban areas as it is thickly populated and there is high volume of consumption. Solar, Bio fuel are two important aspects Urban population can rest for Rural population.

Saving the fossil fuels is not an option. We have to find out a substitute for that because the tendency of using it on a large scale will never decline. From Economic point of view Subsidies could not be stopped giving because a lot of people will have to pay heavy amount for fuels/gases which could result in crises of their monthly budget. The only way to stop this is using the power of electricity on a large scale. I know this isn't a good idea but you could think it as a substitute.
