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.

My suggestion is simple - firs freeze subsidy wherever it is today and then whenever there is an increase in price of Gas adjust it from the Subsidy - like this there will not a direct impact on purchase price but side by side Subsidy will go down. Idea of depositing subsidy in account is good which should be treated as Income for taxation purposes.

1. No Subsidy (or say lesser subsidy) for Income above Rs. 5 lacs per annum
2. Dealers commission on Commercial cylinders should be doubled than domestic cylinders... it will encourage them to stop misuse.

How to reduce LPG and Kerosene,one of the major question to enhance energy segment very much debate required.The petro products for heat energy bring to alternative low cost LNG (Liquified Natural Gas).This even ready to transport with solid level of minus 225 degree compressed stage.Both fuels transportation cost must reduced by laying distributions pipes.When the coast reduced more energy efficiency on budgeting improved.More energy consumed for productions such as HVAC, other manufacturing

This is with ref to my previous post,I have sugested regarding reducing Taxes/duties so that cost of LPGCylinder would be @600/- and make market open so that no subsidy to be paid by Govt.cost of 1000 cylinders will be 600000 in this case Govt do not pay instead earns 100000 from duties/taxes (600000-500000) whereas in the case of subsidize cylinder Govt earns nothing,but paying 500000 for subsidy (for cylinder costing 500/- customer pays 500/-&Govt pays 500/-as subsidy)This is practical soln

It does not require any great deal of thought to understand that if the mechanism of controlled pricing and delivery had been successful, there would not have been either the availability of kerosene to be sold in black, nor would there have been buyers.As such, I would like to offer my humble opinion for making available items of basic necessity freely available and finish off blackmarketeering.
Helping the economically backward can be by encouraging gainful economic activity, not doles.Thank

Govt should ask all LPG distributors to ask their customer to submit Pan Card Copy. Now by Pan card details govt can easily track the annual income of Individuals / Customer. and on the basis of that Govt can decide for whom not to give subsidized cylinder and Kerosene. Also there are Many Township of Industries all over India who give their employer good salary. Ask distributor not to give subsidized cylinder to any people residing in these township. Also set 3 months deadline to submit Pancard

A casual stroll through the market place shows sellers who themselves are from these economically deprived class, selling kerosene of the 'blue' controlled variety in plastic bottles of 500ml or 1L at black market prices, and their customers are from the same class.

The most practical solution would be to let the market find its own price.
In support of this solution, I would like to point out that the controlled items, not only kerosene or LPG, but all other items end up being sold in the black market, and the targeted class, who are economically backward and are underprivileged, rarely if at all ever, get a chance to benefit from these.
