Women of households below the poverty line should also have Aadhaar number to get subsidies for free LPG connection under Ujjwala Yojana before May 31. Nearly 1.5 crore LPG connections have been released under the scheme, which is a more successful scheme of Modi’s government. The move to make Aadhaar mandatory will impact more than 3 crore BPL women who can still benefit from the scheme. Notably, the petroleum ministry made Aadhaar mandatory for subsidised cooking gas cylinders under its Pahal scheme a few months ago.
