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.

Move vehicles off lpg by stopping sales of lpg kits and closure of lpg stations in say 5 years time to enable existing users to switch.

Unfortunately I personally think removal of subsidy on LPG for use as cooking gas may be more problematic. People from lower strata of life and small shops will switch back to coal and by starting to add more to the air pollution problem. I instead, think that piping gas for final mile delivery would be a much better solution, with metering at customer premises so that users can track usage, and inflow and outflow metering at gas dealer stations. This system can be implemented at most cities.

LPG: 1. All govt sector and banking sector employees except fourth class servants in respective institutions shouldn't been benefited with subsidies. 2. All income tax payee staff of private factories, industries and company sectors also shouldn't been benefited with subsidies. 3. subsidies should be provided to all labour class, poor middle class and hostalite students. 4. Annual limit of subsidized LPG shouldn't be more than nine. Kerosene: kerosene depot k ration card ki imvestigation honi chaiye ki card holders ko kerosene oil mil rha h b ya nhi....kyuki depot wale card holders ko kayi trh k bahaane bna kr kerosene oil ka quota cut gya aur unke quota k kerosene oil ko black krdia jata h.

1,39,869 crore IF THIS AMOUNT IS SPENT IN ONE YEAR FOR SUBSIDY THEN GOVT OF INDIA SHOULD REVIEW THE POSSIBILITY OF SOLAR COOKER OPTION INCLUDING PRICE AND PERFORMANCE IF SINGLE TIME INVESTMENT IN SOLAR COOKER MIGHT BE HIGHER BUT WITHING COUPLE OF YEAR USE IT WILL BE CHEAPEST OPTION THEN LPG OR KEROSENE. THEN GOVT SHOULD HAVE DEFINED POLICY FOR EXISTING LPG & KEROSENE USER TO USE SOLAR COOKER MANDATORY AND I THINK LESS AMOUNT WILL BE SPENT TO GIVE SOLAR COOKER RATHER THAN PRESENT SUBSIDY

Before taking the decision to transfer the subsidy directly to consumer account, the system designed for it should be full proof. In future it should not happen that, such subsidy is cancelled and the poor will be more poorer.

Further to what I said the limit of 12 subsidised cylinders should be brought down to 6 immdtly. Excess goes for diversion on large scale. A genuine kerosine customer rarely gets kerosine at subsidised rate .Who's monitoring this? In fact LPG penetration in urban/semi areas is so deep do you really need to release such huge allocation of SKO in these areas .Distribution of subsidised SKO needs a relook .Is it reaching the deserving people at the subsidised rate .No it is not .
