Apply for a new Ujjwala LPG connection
Open the official PMUY application service, select an oil-company distributor and provide your household deprivation declaration, Aadhaar and KYC details; distributor applications are also accepted.
An adult woman from an eligible poor household can apply only if no member of the household already has an LPG connection. The connection's free start-up benefits are distinct from future refill charges.
Scheme at a glance
Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana (PMUY) supports women in eligible poor households who need a first domestic LPG connection. The scheme provides a deposit-free LPG connection, first refill(s) and a two-burner stove under approved rules. It is not a cash payment for registering and does not make every future LPG cylinder free.

Frequently asked questions
Can a man apply in his own name?
PMUY’s new-connection beneficiary is an eligible adult woman of the household.
What if the family already has an LPG connection?
An existing LPG connection in the same household generally makes the household ineligible for a new PMUY connection.
Are all future cylinders free?
No. The programme provides the specified free start-up benefits; refill pricing and any subsidy follow separate notified policies.
Can migrants register without the usual ration card?
The official Ujjwala 2.0 process includes a prescribed self-declaration option for migrant households.
Where do I report unauthorised connection charges?
Use the LPG distributor’s customer-service mechanism and the official PMUY / oil-company helplines.
