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.

Dear Sir, Our Govt. provides subsidies on Kerosene for the welfare of mankind. But this is to be noted that this Kerosene after being distributed from Ration shop is resold in the open market at around Rs. 50/- and further used for mixing it with Diesel. Due to this there is a huge loss of revenue for the Govt. I request the Modi Govt. to take notice of this issue and try to resolve the same. I further suggest to remove subsidy from Kerosene and use the money for public welfare.

It is a happy news that the oil prices decreased more than 80% in the international market. Consequent benefit must be passed on to the consumers, as the oil companies and their outlets are in better position when compared to their status 20yrs back

Any refund mechanism would have regulatory hassles, delay and discretion. Therefore proposed refund of subsidy amount on LPG to be dispensed with. instead, booking through bank accounts may be considered, so that all usages will be accounted. Secondly, this is the only benefit available to all citizens irrespectively, hence GOI should not discontinue the susbsidy on LPG. Thirdly, dealers are selling LPG at about Rs.1000, so control on dealers to be brought. GOI should not be mislead by Dealers.
