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.

Diversion in LPG & SKO is only due to use of subsidy goods/items by industries and Commercial units. so only way to stop such activities to impose hefty fine/penalities on such units and jail term for CEO only(Responsible person who organised such activities and present rule & regulation go scot free,some poor workers get fixed.) of such unit not less than ten Years.

Use of induction cooking in households should be promoted.Cost of induction cooking is the same as subsidised LPG. This will reduce LPG subsidy since LPG cylinder consumption will reduce.

Practice should be undertaken by LPG Suppliers to provide the cylinder regulator with a lock facility. Like an electric meter. And there should be compulsion that when delivery van goes to the place of customer, delivery boy only shall open the lock, change the cylinder and relock the regulator. In short, customer should not be given control over the cylinders they order. This will just smash down the entire practice of diversion to commercial purposes. (unless corruption eats it up).

Subsidy amount may be transferred after the year end(once in a year )so some extent malpractice can be reduced. People can start saving at least 10 %.

Dear Sir, Please refer the below article for details of issue. Ref: http://tinyurl.com/pmwybl6 Solution Currently govt provides 12 subsidised cylinder at 450₹ each. Instead of giving all 12 cylinders for 450₹, govt should consider giving fst 6 cylinder at 450. For every cylinder after 6th 50 or30 ₹ extra will be charged. This way customer will use gas wisely and won't sell to delivery boy in return of subsidy money, else he himself has to pay extra money.
