The Telangana Government has introduced the Mahalaxmi Scheme Guidelines to provide subsidies to OMC companies and enable cash payments to consumers through Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) mechanisms. District collectors will oversee the scheme to ensure it is implemented effectively.
The Mahalaxmi Scheme is part of the Congress government’s commitment to fulfilling its promises. It is available to individuals with a ration card, offering a gas cylinder for Rs. 500 based on their average consumption over the last three years. The government also plans to provide monthly subsidies to gas companies to support the scheme.
The introduction of the Mahalakshmi Scheme demonstrates the government’s efforts to improve access to essential services and offer financial assistance to consumers and energy companies. By simplifying subsidy payments and targeting aid to those in need, the scheme aims to make gas cylinders more affordable and accessible to eligible beneficiaries.
