⭐ What is the DBTL (PAHAL) Scheme?
The DBTL Scheme is designed to make LPG subsidy payments transparent and 100% digital.
Here’s how it works:
- You buy the LPG cylinder at full market price
- The subsidy amount is sent directly to your bank account
- The transfer happens after your cylinder delivery is recorded
This system prevents fake LPG connections and ensures only genuine household users get the benefit.
🔄 How the DBTL Scheme Works (Simple Breakdown)
1️⃣ Purchase the LPG cylinder at the market rate
The dealer charges the full price of the cylinder.
2️⃣ LPG delivery is updated in the system
Once the delivery boy updates the refill in the system, your subsidy process begins.
3️⃣ Subsidy is transferred directly to your bank account
Most users receive the subsidy within 48–72 hours.
You will see entries like:
👉 PAHAL / DBTL / LPG SUBSIDY in your bank account.
