The government is already working on a roadmap for the direct transfer of the kerosene subsidy to beneficiaries in the form of cash, with the intention of doing away with the current practice of supplying subsidised fuel under the public distribution system (PDS). The EGoM during its last meeting on August 8 had considered the recommendations of the Task Force on Direct Transfer of Subsidies on Kerosene, LPG and Fertilizer. It had also debated the LPG subsidy issue but had deferred a decision. A 14.2-kg LPG cylinder costs Rs. 395.35 in Delhi.
