To each household, the central government offers 12 cylinders on subsidised rates yearly. Every month the tax on LPG changes, based on the fluctuation in the average international benchmark LPG rate and foreign exchange rate. With every rise in global standards, GST (Goods and Services Tax) on LPG is calculated. It is calculated based on the market price changes but not on the base price.
The government gives a higher subsidy to subsidised customers through the scheme of direct benefit transfer, whereas the non-subsidised category does not get any such benefits. Those who buy non-subsidised cylinders have to pay the market price in addition to the GST on market price.
