Free LPG gas connection with stove and first refill — for women below poverty line
What is PM Ujjwala Yojana?

• Free stove and first cylinder for eligible beneficiaries under Ujjwala 2.0
• Refill subsidy via PAHAL scheme (amount credited to bank account)
• No health risks from indoor smoke
• Connection in woman's name — empowering female head of household
Who is Eligible?
Women above 18 years from BPL households identified under SECC-2011, or belonging to SC/ST, PM Awas Yojana (Gramin) beneficiaries, Antyodaya Anna Yojana households, forest dwellers, tea and ex-tea garden tribe members, and migrants. The household should not already have an LPG connection.
Documents Required
• Aadhaar card
• BPL ration card or SECC-2011 inclusion proof
• Bank account details (for subsidy transfer)
• Self-declaration for address proof (for migrants)
