Addressing the 11th Petro India Conference, Mr.Chaturvedi said that the scheme is very good because it will reduce the pilferage taking place in marketing of LPG.

Mr.Chaturvedi further said: ““But the cash transfer is not easy as Adhar penetration is very low. Only 20 crore population has been enrolled for Adhar out of the population of 120 crore.”

According to officials of the Petroleum ministry, another difficulty in the implementation of the scheme is the fact that a large number of he beneficiaries under the scheme do not have bank accounts.
