  • The Formula: Eligible = (Applicant is Adult Woman) AND (No existing LPG connection) AND (BPL/AAY Card OR SC/ST OR Income under ₹8 Lakh for specific vulnerable categories).

Real-World Calculation Breakdown

An adult woman from a Scheduled Tribe (ST) household in Madhya Pradesh applies for Ujjwala 2.0. They have no existing gas connection.

  • Eligibility: Eligible (Adult woman, ST, no prior connection).
  • Upfront Savings: ₹1,600 deposit waiver + free gas stove + free first cylinder connection.
  • Refill Subsidy: For each of the first 4 refills, she receives ₹300 back in her bank account.
  • Annual Subsidy Benefit: 4 refills × ₹300 = ₹1,200/year cash back.
