• Aadhaar-NPCI Mapping: Make sure your Aadhaar is linked with an active bank account and properly mapped in NPCI for DBT payments.
• Jan Dhan & Zero-Balance Accounts: Eligible beneficiaries can receive DBT benefits through suitable savings accounts, including Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana (PMJDY) accounts.
• Mobile & SMS Alerts: Keep an active mobile number registered with your bank and LPG Consumer Account. This will help you receive transaction and Subsidy-related information.
