A huge amount of Govt. money is spent on subsidy of petroleum products. The Govt. had to spend Rs. 1,39,869 crore on account of subsidy on petroleum products in the year 2013-14. As, the indigenous availability of crude Oil and LPG is limited, these are imported in huge quantities to fulfill the demand of the country.  As Govt. provides domestic LPG and PDS Kerosene on subsidised price, this results in huge subsidy burden on Govt. Due to presence of dual pricing(subsidized and non-subsidized) in LPG and SKO, there is a diversion of subsidized LPG and Kerosene into commercial usage. Although Govt. has taken several initiatives to reduce this diversion of subsidized LPG and PDS Kerosene, public participation is solicited to suggest ways for reducing diversion in LPG and PDS Kerosene.

You are invited to suggest ideas to reduce diversion and the subsidy burden on account of LPG and Kerosene.

Respected PM, Finance Minister desired to reduce the subsidy burden for govt. Gas subsidy may not be given to Income Tax payers for improving economy.

I think Government should withdraw subsidy for the people paying more than 20000/- income tax, while doing so Government should increase the income tax slap to 5 lakhs

Good thinking. But it should start from the Government Empolyees. Slowly to the enterperners and then to the salaried people.

good govt looking to reduce subsidies but if govt just stop giving freebies to govt&PSU employees,loads of money can b saved. that precious money can be used in various developmental work. just look at freebies schemes: all free air travel to indian airlines&rail employees,LTC(wonder Y govt has to pay for holidaying of babus despite paid leaves) numerous reimbursement on education,medical,travel,etc. on top of it various social security schemes,pensions etc. is all this not money diversion? now just compare same monthly income people of govt employee and self employed? and this same income self employee wud b tortured by numerous taxes and obsolete laws of govt. he is paying taxes to fund govt employee LTC? is this fair? govt shud stop making ppl feel that we still hv no freedom, invaders & their govt used to heavily tax ppl and enjoy on their money, govt need to introspect and reconsider its ways of working for itself and govt/PSU employees !!!

For rural areas especially in arid and sunny regions, subsidy should be given only during monsoon months. For the rest of the year they should be encouraged to move to solar cookers as Mr. Chandrakant Patel had suggested. I wonder if a convection oven powered by a photovoltaic cell and battery can be made smart looking to entice the city suburban population too...?

Kerosene and lpg subsidy cannot be removed when 30% of the country lives below the poverty line, what can be done is targeted subsidy allocation. Declaration of select cities like Bangalore, Ahmedabad, Hyderabad as subsidy free zones may help. Poverty levels of these cities should be tracked and when it grows to a certain percentage, they can be removed from the list. There should be incentives like smart city development grants going only to these cities.
