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.

All employers should be asked to enter the pay band /basic salary on their ration cards. Subsidy should be given on percentage basis only,fix subsidy to max of 50%of the cost.Then based on pay keep reducing the % of subsidy and that amount should be sent to their respective accounts.There should be thorough inspection in all eateries big or small and strict action on defaulters. No free connection at all. Pondy mainculprit,raids to be conducted regularly.Givephone numbers for makingcomplaints

Govt. may try to introduce CNG based fuel if cost wise advantage. and CNG indian production can take care of some portion of demand. Perhaps subsidy burden may reduce.

Petrol & diesel prices has not been reduced at par with international prices. The international prices have come down to 40$ per barrel. Only 69 paise was reduced at last which is just fooling people of the country .

SIR another way to reduce the over dependence on lpg is to encourage the use of biogas plants. The approximate cost of a biogas plant is rs 10000 for a family. the subsidy amount that goes to bank can be used for installing biogas plants and the payment for the plant can be made in installments or out of the money saved on lpg cylinders.As claimed by a biogas distributer it can reduce lpg consumption by 70%

Add some coloring agent to Kerosene and change its colour from regular blue so that we can differentiate it between Commercial and Subsidized Kerosene. Also, widely implement the different colored cylinders for Commercial and subsidized ones. IOCL, BPL etc should employ inspectors who should go around and find out the illegal users.

Dear Sir, Due to low crude oil price our goverment made profit and reduce CAD. So I feel this should carry . Read how... 1)If Gov. do some MOU with OPEC country like we will buy crude 60$/barrel (Fix the price) and order them around 50% to 70% of our demand and export some requred medicines and food in selective rates. this will help us to reduce the inflaction. 2)If we count that the price of Petrol and Diesel ahs been deregulated then this stratergy should follow by OMC's. They must sign this agreement with GOV and ask this rate against demand and GOV should drive this concept and sign the MOU

BE IT LPG OR KEROSENE WE SHOULD GET THE WORTH FOR WHAT WE BUY. WE CONTRIBUTE TO THE NATIONS ECONOMY. IF HOUSEHOLDS RECV SUBSIDIES IN THEIR ACCOUNT THEN HOUSEHOLD WILL SPEND MORE THIS SHOULD HELP ECONOMY TO GROW.
