However, cylinders have to be bought at full price at the time of purchase, and the subsidy is then credited to the customer's bank account by the government.
Subsidy paid varies every month based on the changes in the pricing and tax rates. GST on these cylinders are calculated on the market rates.
Residents also have the choice of voluntarily opt out of subsidy.
