’Pause LPG subsidy for users not completing biometric Aadhaar authentication by June 30’

Why it matters
This policy change affects millions of households relying on government-subsidized cooking fuel, highlighting the push for digital identity integration in public services.
For cooking gas consumers, including Ujjwala scheme beneficiaries, who have not got themselves biometrically authenticated, the subsidy on LPG refills will be withheld if they fail to complete the process by June 30.
