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.

Both LPG and kerosene should be sold at market price. For LPG, subsidy should be reduced over time. Currently subsidy equivalent to 6 cylinders a year (enough for a family of 4) should be directly transferred to citizen's account. Kerosene is used for EWS of society but it should be sold at market price and subsidy for the consumption of a family of 4 should be transferred to citizen.

It is renowned fact that India is dependent on foreign sources for its crude requirement. The prices of petrol & diesel which are the major sources of fuel get affected due to many factors like slowdown by OPEC, forex fluctuations. It is suggested we create a energy fluctuation fund to stabilize the prices of the fuels. When there is a drop in the prices the fund may be be buffered up to cushion against any increases in the prices. This shall be a relief to the bleeding PSU.

In my opinion this shall impress middle class and higher middle class if government makes a sincere efforts to collect the tax from tax evaders. Let government publish data on tax collected from tax evaders. This shall bring in transparency in system and people would be happy to give off the subsidy. Just speaking on black money doesn't impression any one. Publish data on tax collected from tax evaders and how much it contributed to reduce the subsidy.This exercise for 2-3 years can bring trans

In my opinion,LPG and Kerosene should be sold at full price (without subsidy) to all income tax payers having income of Rs. 10 lakhs or more before any deduction.Beside this,no subsidised kerosene for LPG connection holders

Those who opt for LPG cylinders without subsidy shall have the privilege of getting Gas cylinders on demand or limited to 15 per year. Including me, for all who are earning more than that of a Class I officer need not be given LPG gas at a subsidy rate. Lets us help the nation.

The amount of loss of Crude oil and other Hydrocarbons to flare should be minimized. This will ensure lot of energy savings and reduce environmental hazards too.

India consumes lot of LPG in cooking food. If we install solar cookers in all buildings, then there will be two advantages: One, LPG will be saved drastically. Two, people will come closer as they will cook together.
