LPG gas is cooking gas that is used in Indian homes as cooking fuel. It is one of the most important commodities which is used as energy for preparing food.
Since it is a very important commodity, the government provides them in a subsidized format to ensure it is affordable for the people, and more and more people use it instead of coal or wood for preparing food.
The reason for this is that LPG is a clean energy and does not release any harmful residue which makes it align with climate change goals.
The subsidy of the LPG is provided to every citizen of India if they have an LPG subscription with them but various volunteers want to give away the subsidy because they can afford the full price of the cylinder.
For the subsidization program, the government had to spend a lot of money which could have been invested in other areas like education, eradicating poverty, government schools, etc.
This makes some conscious citizens of the country renounce their subsidy and pay the full amount for the LPG subsidy. If you are one of them and want to renounce your LPG subsidy then this article is for you.
