Official LPG domestic connection allotment document and Subscription Voucher (SV) issued under the Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana (PMUY 2.0) by Public Sector Oil Marketing Companies (IOCL Indane, BPCL Bharat Gas, HPCL HP Gas), certifying a deposit-free gas connection, subsidized cylinder, pressure regulator, and PAHAL DBT subsidy entitlement for women from underprivileged households
To eliminate indoor air pollution and empower rural women, PMUY domestic gas connections are issued strictly in the name of an adult woman of the household. Men cannot be the primary connection holders under the Ujjwala scheme.
💡 The PM Ujjwala Yojana Subscription Voucher (SV) is an official legal receipt and consumer agreement issued by an authorized LPG distributorship (Indane, Bharat Gas, or HP Gas) certifying that an adult female beneficiary has been allotted a deposit-free domestic LPG connection. It details the consumer number, cylinder serial numbers, pressure regulator equipment, distributor code, and PAHAL DBT linkage for receiving direct government gas refill subsidies.

Distributor executes biometric e-KYC; the Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs) run an automated cross-database de-duplication check to ensure no existing connection exists in the family.
Once de-duplication clears, the OMC generates a unique Consumer Number and prints the Subscription Voucher (SV).
The distributor delivers the filled 14.2 kg (or 5 kg) LPG cylinder, pressure regulator, ISI Suraksha hose pipe, and free 2-burner gas stove to the beneficiary's home.
The delivery mechanic conducts a mandatory kitchen safety check, demonstrates cylinder operation, and hands over the Subscription Voucher and Domestic Gas Consumer Card (DGCC).
Submit a transfer request on the OMC portal or at your current distributorship to obtain a Transfer Subscription Voucher (TSV) for your new destination.
