+<WRAP info>
+**In one line.** LPG subsidy under the PAHAL / DBTL scheme is released by the Oil Marketing Company (OMC — IndianOil, BPCL, HPCL) to the consumer's bank account linked by Aadhaar or LPG-ID seeding. When it stops crediting, RTI to the OMC Area Office and the Ministry of Petroleum & Natural Gas extracts the transaction log.

+Part of **[[:rti-for-money-and-schemes|Pillar 4 — RTI for Money, Schemes & Subsidies]]**.
+===== What is the problem =====
+  * **Subsidy amount** not credited for one or more refills.
+  * **Aadhaar / bank seeding** dropped after KYC refresh.
+  * **Dealer** says "subsidy released"; bank says "nothing credited".
+  * **New connection** under Ujjwala — first-refill subsidy missing.
+  * **Giving up subsidy**: user claims they didn't opt out.
+===== When to use RTI =====
+  * 30 days since refill delivery; no subsidy credit.
+  * MyLPG portal shows "subsidy paid" but bank statement disagrees.
+  * Dealer refuses to share the transaction ID.
+  * You suspect your LPG-ID was deactivated or merged.
+===== What you can ask =====
+  * Connection ledger — refill dates, delivery boy, amount charged.
+  * Subsidy transaction IDs (UTR) for each refill.
+  * Aadhaar / bank-account seeding status and log.
+  * "Giving up subsidy" declaration — if any, when and how.
+  * Dealer audit entries.
+  * OMC Area Office grievance log.
+===== Step-by-step RTI filing =====
+  * **Oil Marketing Company Area Office** (IndianOil / BPCL / HPCL) via ''rtionline.gov.in'' → **Ministry of Petroleum & Natural Gas**.
+  * **OMC Headquarters** for policy-level questions.
+  * **Ministry of Petroleum & Natural Gas** for cross-OMC or deactivation concerns.
+  * Rs. 10 fee; BPL free.
+===== Sample RTI application =====
+<code>
+To,
+The Public Information Officer,
+[Indian Oil Corporation / Bharat Petroleum / Hindustan Petroleum] — [Area Office] / Ministry of Petroleum & Natural Gas,
+[Address]
+Subject: Information under Section 6(1) of the RTI Act, 2005, regarding my LPG subsidy.
+Sir/Madam,
+I, [Name], holder of LPG Consumer Number [17-digit LPG-ID] and connection at [Full Address], submit:
+Distributor code and name: ________
+Refill dates for which subsidy is in question: ________
+Bank account (last 4 digits) for DBTL: ________
+Aadhaar seeding status: ________
+Please provide:
+. Connection ledger for the last 12 months with refill dates, delivery confirmation, and amount charged.
+. Subsidy release transaction IDs / UTRs for each of the above refills.
+. Aadhaar / bank-account seeding status for my LPG-ID and date of last update.
+. If a "Give-It-Up" / opt-out declaration is on record, date and mode of submission, with certified copy.
+. Audit / inspection entries on record against my distributor during the same period.
+. Grievance-log entries raised by me (if any) via 1906 / MyLPG portal.
+. If subsidy was withheld due to income-limit (Rs. 10 lakh threshold), the data source used.
+. Expected release date for withheld subsidy.
+. Contact of the OMC Area Manager for LPG operations.

+===== 10 RTI questions =====
+  - Connection ledger.
+  - Subsidy UTRs.
+  - Aadhaar/bank seeding log.
+  - Opt-out declaration.
+  - Distributor audit entries.
+  - Grievance log.
+  - Income-limit data source.
+  - Release ETA.
+  - Area Manager contact.
+  - FAA contact.
+===== What happens next =====
+  * **Day 0–10** RTI routed to OMC CPIO.
+  * **Day 10–25** Transaction log pulled; arrears often released.
+  * **Day 30** Reply mandatory.
+  * **Day 30+** First Appeal + parallel PCG / CPGRAMS complaint.
+===== Common mistakes =====
+  * Writing the full Aadhaar number — only seeding status is needed.
+  * Asking the dealer directly via RTI — dealers are distributors, not public authorities; route through OMC.
+  * Missing the distributor code.
+  * Filing only to the Ministry — the OMC Area Office is the operational custodian.
+===== Pro tips =====
+  * **MyLPG statement screenshot** + bank-statement screenshot = strong paired evidence.
+  * **1906 toll-free** grievance should be logged in parallel — the docket number is usable in the RTI.
+  * **For Ujjwala consumers**, the first 3-6 refills have a separate accounting track — cite Ujjwala in the RTI.
+  * **Income-threshold cases**: Ministry has never notified an enforceable income cap uniformly; ask for the specific notification used.
+===== FAQs =====
+**Q1. Are OMCs public authorities under RTI?**\\ Yes — IOCL, BPCL, HPCL are "bodies owned or controlled" by the government under Section 2(h).
+**Q2. Can I RTI the dealer?**\\ No — private distributor. But the OMC holds the dealer's audit file.
+**Q3. What if I opted out but want to opt back in?**\\ The OMC allows re-enrolment; RTI can extract the opt-out record as the basis for reversal.
+**Q4. Does RTI cover Ujjwala-specific benefits?**\\ Yes — same OMC file, but refer separately to [[:rti-for-ujjwala-connection|Ujjwala RTI]].
+===== Conclusion =====
+LPG subsidy is a direct benefit with a transaction log for every refill. The log tells the full story — RTI simply extracts it.
