As per the scheme, the security deposit for the domestic LPG cylinder and pressure regulator are funded through the contributions from the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) funds of ONGC, OIL, GAIL, BPCL, HPCL, and IOC.
Under the scheme, the BPL card holders register with the distributor for a new LPG connection. The same is sent by distributor to local administration for authentication. Intimation letters are sent to the BPL card holders after receipt of list authenticated by the administration.
