Hey Pal,

The Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana was created by the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas to give LPG connections to BPL households (PMUY). There are a few Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana eligibility criteria. You are eligible for the program's cylinder refills, an interest-free loan to buy a gas stove and Rs. 1600 for each connection. The government will pay the administrative costs for the LPG hookup.

LPG usage is more common in India's urban and semi-urban areas. The bulk of people living in rural areas and BPL families still cook their meals using fossil fuels. Fossil fuel use poses substantial health risks to the mothers in these families. According to experts, burning 400 cigarettes in an hour causes as much damage as having an open fire in the kitchen.

Children with respiratory illnesses are also affected by indoor air pollution. Deforestation and air pollution are other effects. Under the direction of the Hon'ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas launched the Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana (PMUY) programme in May 2016 to solve the aforementioned problem.

Features:
  • The programme will give BPL families 5 crore LPG connections.

  • BPL families will receive financial assistance in the amount of Rs. 1,600 for each LPG connection.

  • Toaster and refill costs will be covered by EMI facilities (Interest-free loan).

  • The government would cover the administrative cost of Rs. 1,600 for LPG installation.

  • The programme is an addition to the prime minister's "Give It Up Campaign," through which a significant number of middle-class families have voluntarily given up their subsidy for cooking gas.

Who is eligible for Ujjwala scheme?
  • The applicant must be a lady who is older than 18 years old.

  • The candidate must dwell in rural areas and possess a BPL card.

  • To be eligible for the subsidy, the applicant must have a savings account with one of the nationalised banks.

  • No LPG connection must already be in place at the applicant's home.

Documents required:

The following documents are needed to apply for the programme: 

  • BPL ration card.

  • Authorised BPL Certificate (Authorised by the Municipality Chairman/Panchayat Pradhan).

  • Aadhar card or voter ID.

  • a current passport-sized photo.

I would like to conclude here as I believe this suffices your query about the Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana eligibility criteria.
