Plea in HC challenges Rs 200 cashback per LPG cylinder exclusively for Ujjwala subscribers
A petition was moved in the Delhi High Court on Wednesday challenging the constitutional validity of the scheme which provides for a Rs 200 cashback per LPG cylinder to the subscribers of the Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana (PMUY) and is not applicable to other below poverty line (BPL) families. The petition came up for hearing before a bench of Chief Justice Satish Chandra Sharma and Justice Subramonium Prasad which listed it for further hearing on February 13 along with a similar plea.
The PMUY was launched on May 1, 2016 to provide access to cooking gas cylinders to BPL families without consumers having to pay a deposit to fuel retailers.
