| PAHAL (DBTL) Scheme | Consumers purchase LPG cylinders at the market price. The eligible subsidy amount is transferred to their bank account after delivery. |
| Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana | Low-income households receive deposit-free LPG connections and a subsidy of about ₹300 per cylinder for eligible refills, subject to government policy. |
| State Government LPG Subsidy Schemes | Apart from central schemes, some state governments provide extra LPG subsidy or free cylinders to eligible households under their respective programs. |
