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.

Subsidised Kerosene is mixed in diesel and petrol by petrol pumps so causing loss to enviornment and vehicles. Alternative clean fuel like CNG , bio gas be promoted and kerosene, petrol and diesel be sold at market rate without any subsidy. Alternative technologies like solar energy be promoted and incentive be give for use of these in cooking and other activites requiring use of kerosene. Subsidies meant for poor people enjoyed for commercial purpose by others.

NDA Govt must honor LPG consumers woe for less weight cylinder,delivery and poor service by distributors and OMCs. Complaints are unheard.LPG must be put on de control alike petrol. Govt must reduce custom duty first. second low price of petroleum products in international market benefits on petrol be passed on LPG instead reduction of APM alike done on ONGC for compensations to OMCs. Such huge fund will slash the price of LPG. Thirdly LPG price may be move upwards byRs 50/pm till subsidy merges

Even the non aadhar form compells us to give an undertaking that we will be obtaining aadhar. Is this not cheating the public as well as hoodwinking the Supreme Court ? STOP AADHAR SAVE INDIA. Why are you particular to get Aadhar enrolment done through private agencies ? Just to enable sharing with foreign govs ? Are we not justified in questioning the bonafides ? >less...

STOP THE AADHAR NONSENSE. Government cheats us by coercing us to give data to UIDAI which uses foreign linked companies to collect and stoere data.

Kerosene is used by the poorest of the poor,therefore, continue with the subsidy. Only 5-10 litres per family should be distributed thru'fair price shops on Adhar based ration cards

Increase rates of Diesel & Petrol to neutralize the subsidy burden. Increase rates of subsidized cylinders by Rs 20/-PM for 12-15 months..Gradual increase will not pinch..

I think d govt. Should start using biogas through waste food in restaurants and canteens to produe gas, which can be used again to cook the food and wastage also becomes less. It was also shown in satyameva jayate.

Open up LPG and make it available freely @ Rs.30 per Kg everywhere. Fix the price once a year. Save on administration costs. Subsidy will disappear on its own.
