First Things First: Give It Time
-
The Waiting Game: Typically, the subsidy amount should land in your account within 2 to 3 days of the cylinder delivery. If it doesn’t show up after four days, start checking.
The Troubleshooting Checklist
-
Bank Issues: Sometimes the transfer fails even if the subsidy was sent.
-
Action: Go directly to the bank branch linked to your Aadhaar card. They can check the transaction status on their end.
-
The Nuclear Option: If the subsidy is transferred but not showing up, visit your bank or consider linking your Aadhaar to a different bank account entirely.
-
-
Contact Your Agency: For most simple issues, start with the people you know.
-
Action: Call your gas agency first (HP Gas, Indane, or Bharat Gas). They often resolve the problem fastest.
-
-
The Grievance Helpline (The Kicker): If the agency can’t fix it, there is a dedicated national resource.
-
DBTL Helpline: Call 1800-2333-555. This is the DBTL Grievance Cell set up by the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas.
-
Tracking Online (The Paper Trail)
You don’t have to call anyone right away. You can check the status online first.
-
Unified LPG Portal: Log in to the official site at mylpg.in.
-
Company Sites/Apps: HP Gas, Indane, and Bharat Gas customers can check directly on their respective websites or the UMANG app.
-
The Process: Log in or register. Click on ‘Subsidy Status’ or ‘Check PAHAL Status’. You’ll need to enter your LPG ID or your Aadhaar number.
Remember: Having your Aadhaar card details correctly linked and updated is the entire foundation of this scheme. If that link is broken, the money won’t flow.
