 +<WRAP info>
 +**In one line.** The Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana (PMUY) gives free LPG connections to BPL / eligible women. When an application is rejected or first-refill subsidies fail, RTI to the Oil Marketing Company and the Ministry of Petroleum & Natural Gas extracts the eligibility-check record and release order.

 +
 +Part of **[[:rti-for-money-and-schemes|Pillar 4 — RTI for Money, Schemes & Subsidies]]**.
 +
 +===== What is the problem =====
 +
 +  * **Application rejected** citing "duplicate household" or "not BPL".
 +  * **Connection released** but stove / deposit not issued.
 +  * **First-refill subsidy** not credited despite refill taken.
 +  * **Ujjwala 2.0 migrant worker** application stuck — ration-card alternative not accepted.
 +  * **Distributor** demanding cash for "free" connection.
 +
 +===== When to use RTI =====
 +
 +  * Rejection without written reasoning.
 +  * >60 days since application, no update.
 +  * First-refill subsidy missing 30+ days after delivery.
 +  * Distributor misconduct (cash demands, refusal to install stove).
 +
 +===== What you can ask =====
 +
 +  * Application record in the Ujjwala database.
 +  * SECC-2011 data used for BPL verification (or alternative proof under Ujjwala 2.0).
 +  * Rejection ground, if any, with officer signature.
 +  * Distributor's KYC log.
 +  * Stove + first-refill issue log.
 +  * First-refill subsidy transaction ID.
 +  * Complaint-register entries against the distributor.
 +
 +===== Step-by-step RTI filing =====
 +
 +  * **OMC Area Office** (IndianOil / BPCL / HPCL) — connection operations.
 +  * **Ministry of Petroleum & Natural Gas** via ''rtionline.gov.in'' — scheme-level.
 +  * **District Collectorate** if a ration-card / alternative-proof case.
 +  * Rs. 10 fee; BPL free.
 +
 +===== Sample RTI application =====

 +
 +Subject: Information under Section 6(1) of the RTI Act, 2005, regarding my PMUY Ujjwala application.
 +
 +Sir/Madam,
 +
 +I, [Name], w/o [Husband's Name], holder of Ration Card / Aadhaar [masked], resident of [Full Address], submit:
 +
 +Ujjwala Application Reference No. (17-digit if allotted): ________

 +
 +Please provide:
 +
 +1. Status of my Ujjwala application in the OMC database with date of each stage.
 +2. Eligibility verification record — SECC-2011 / ration-card / alternative-proof used.
 +3. If rejected, the ground in writing and the approving officer's name.
 +4. Distributor's KYC log and delivery confirmation.
 +5. Certified copy of the stove + first-refill issue register entry for my LPG-ID.
 +6. First-refill subsidy transaction ID (UTR) and date of credit to my bank.
 +7. Complaint-register entries (if any) against the distributor during this period.

 +</code>
 +
 +===== 10 RTI questions =====
 +
 +  - Application stage-wise status.
 +  - Eligibility verification record.
 +  - Rejection ground in writing.
 +  - Distributor KYC log.
 +  - Stove + first-refill register.
 +  - First-refill subsidy UTR.
 +  - Complaints against distributor.
 +  - 1906 grievance log.
 +  - Release ETA.
 +  - FAA contact.
 +
 +===== What happens next =====
 +
 +  * **Day 0–10** RTI routed.
 +  * **Day 10–25** Distributor + OMC records pulled; many rejected applications are reopened.
 +  * **Day 30** Reply mandatory.
 +  * **Day 30+** First Appeal + district-level escalation.
 +
 +===== Common mistakes =====
 +
 +  * Filing only at the Ministry — operational custody is at the OMC Area Office.
 +  * Not citing the application reference / distributor code.
 +  * Asking rhetorical "why rejected" — ask for the **eligibility record and the written ground**.
 +  * Ignoring the alternative-proof route under Ujjwala 2.0 (ration card + Aadhaar suffices for migrants).
 +
 +===== Pro tips =====
 +
 +  * **Aanganwadi / ASHA** referrals strengthen the eligibility case; cite if applicable.
 +  * **Parallel 1906 / MyLPG** grievance generates a docket usable in RTI.
 +  * **For distributor misconduct**, copy to the **District Magistrate** — OMCs act fast under DM pressure.
 +  * **Photograph of the stove delivery register** on delivery day is the cleanest evidence.
 +
 +===== FAQs =====
 +
 +**Q1. Am I eligible under Ujjwala 2.0?**\\ Women of poor households, migrant families (with self-declaration + Aadhaar), or families excluded from PMUY-1 are eligible — ask for the eligibility mapping.
 +
 +**Q2. Is the stove really free?**\\ Under PMUY-1, Rs. 1600 subsidy covers connection + stove loan; Ujjwala 2.0 extends loan-free stove. Cash demand is a complaint ground.
 +
 +**Q3. What if my ration card is not BPL?**\\ Alternative documents (SECC-2011 data, Aanganwadi referral, migrant self-declaration) are admissible under Ujjwala 2.0.
 +
 +**Q4. Can I track my application online?**\\ ''pmuy.gov.in'' has a basic tracker; RTI extracts the backend that the operator sees.
 +
 +===== Conclusion =====
 +
 +Ujjwala's promise — a clean kitchen — depends on last-mile distribution. RTI makes the distributor accountable and puts the OMC on record for the eligibility check.
