The target beneficiaries of Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana is the households which fall under the below poverty line (BPL) families. As per the scheme, five crore LPG connections have to be provided to all the BPL households in various phases over a period of three years.
The identification of the BPL families will be made in consultation with the State Governments and Union Territories of India.
The below poverty line family is a household which suffers from at least one deprivation which is mentioned under the Socio-Economic caste census (SECC) – 2011 database.
Preference will be given for SC/ST and weaker sections of the society while selecting the beneficiaries from the BPL families for providing new LPG gas connection. Priority will be given to those states wherein the LPG coverage is less when compared to the national average as on January 1, 2016.
The LPG connection under the Ujjwala Scheme will be released in the name of the women belonging to the BPL family.
The government has decided to cover the following categories under the scheme:
• Antyoday Anna Yojana (AAY)
• Most Backward Classes (MBC)
• People residing in Islands
• Forest Dwellers
• All the SC/ST households who are beneficiaries of Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY) Gramin
• Tea & Ex-Tea Garden Tribes
• People residing in river islands
The total number of connections as on October 23, 2018, in the state of Assam stands at 22,31,129.

The same should be submitted along with relevant documents which include proof of identity and address proof.
Registering for New Gas Connection
With the advancement of technology, consumers can register for a new LPG connection through online mode or can even book for a refill of LPG by comfortably sitting at home.
The government of India has made it mandatory for the holders of LPG connection, to link their Aadhaar Card with their respective bank accounts to get the LPG subsidy amount credited to their bank account directly. In a move to help the rural families and the ones who cannot afford to pay the full price of the LPG cylinders, the government of India has rolled out a scheme to give a subsidy on purchase of LPG cylinders.
On the other hand, it has also urged the families who can afford the full price of LPG cylinders to give up subsidy on it as the subsidy money can be used for the benefits of fewer fortune families.
The LPG cylinder holders who opt for an LPG subsidy will get benefit under the direct transfer benefit, wherein the LPG subsidy amount will be directly credited to their bank account which has linked with Aadhaar card.
Linking of aadhaar card with a bank account can be done in both online as well as offline mode.
In offline mode, an individual will have to approach a bank and fill out relevant details to complete the linking process and in case of online mode, linking can be done by visiting the UIDAI web portal.
