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.

I sincerely request ministry officials to grant an appointment for making a presentation to stop diversion menace. 15-20 minutes can not be costlier than the subsidy amount. Hope our Minister Sahib also has a look onto portal sometime. It's a national resource being pilfered. We all are concerned. Please listen to my voice.

Sir, every time I login , I hope some real progress in discussions, shofar not so. We are missing one very simple point :the diversion problem can only be handled by physically making it imposssible to divert LPG for other use. The country has the technology, oil companies and ministry aware of it. Nobody seriously interested or what........ Pl immediately implement pilot project of Anti Pilfer Device initiated by Bharta Petroleum.

For last 2 years, OMCs have been maintaining consumer wise records of Domestic LPG, it's high time that family size wise analysis of consumption is made, and some capping is done for those family sizes where average consumption is less than 12. Similarly where in large family sizes consumption is more than 12 cylinder, there a higher capping, say of 15 cylinder can be done

Kerosene dealers are most corrupt. It's distribution should be given to women self help groups

Strict laws for diversion and misuse be made and enforce strictly. Rates of non domestic LPG be reduced, Supply be restricted to one cylinder a month or 20/22 days or formula be made by calculating members of a family. Now a single person family or 9/10 persons family is entitled for same quantity of LPG refills.

The voluntary surrender of the subsidy is the latest effort by the Government and the oil companies to reduce the whopping LPG subsidy of Rs. 46,000 crores. I would like the government to order all Ministers, MPs and MLAs to surrender their LPG subsidy and make it a nationwide campaign so that public will themselves surrender their subsidy.They will do it proudly for the country if the same is presented as a patriotic gesture . Politicians should show the way for this noble gesture
