LUCKNOW Ujjwala Yojana beneficiaries in Uttar Pradesh may get money directly into their Aadhaar-linked bank account for their domestic LPG cylinder refill or receive an e-voucher, which they can redeem within a specified period in keeping with the Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) pre-poll promise for a free domestic LPG cylinder on Holi and Diwali every year.
Not all beneficiaries will receive the amount/e-voucher at one go on Holi. “Rather, different beneficiaries will receive the benefit on different dates between March and June, officials said.
They said the government was very close to giving final shape to the standard operating procedures (SOPs) for the distribution of free LPG cylinders to around 1.65 beneficiaries, after discussing various payment options.
