The government on Thursday decided to allow 12 subsidized cooking gas cylinders to households, removing the annual nine-cylinder cap, besides putting on hold subsidy payments directly into bank accounts - a move that deals a crippling blow to the UPA's much-touted Aadhaar-based direct benefit transfer scheme.

The scheme was supposed to be a game-changer for the Congress in the lead-up to the elections and help the government check leakages from the subsidy schemes. But Thursday's cabinet decision prompted by Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi's public demand has virtually put a question mark on the ambitious subsidy trimming programme.

But Thursday's cabinet decision prompted by Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi's public demand has virtually put a question mark on the ambitious subsidy trimming programme.


Although the original intent was to move the three main subsidies - food, fertilizer and fuel - that together cost almost Rs 2.5 lakh crore a year and scores of other schemes into direct cash transfer mode, the UPA leadership kept trimming the list which originally listed over 50 programmes.

Food subsidies were the first to be struck off the list as the public distribution system is run by state governments. Fertilizer was excluded as the government said it did not have a list of beneficiaries since the dole was routed through companies. Even within fuel subsidy, kerosene was excluded as the government decided to focus on cooking gas sold in cylinders.

On the last count, there were 29 schemes, including cooking gas subsidy, of which 28 involved an outgo of Rs 294 crore during the first nine-and-a-half months of its launch. There were at least three schemes where there were no cash transfers, while nine others saw transfers running into a few lakhs.

Oil ministry officials did not comment on what prompted them to delink subsidy payments from Aadhaar but a government official said that there is a minuscule proportion of households that consumes more than a dozen cylinders a year.
