The Government seems to be changing the cap of six LPG Cylinders a year to Ten Cylinders.
Right now we get the LPG after 21 days-that is Booking is taken after 21 Days,Delivery may take another 5 – 10 days.
That means we get 17 Cylinders a Year now.
Under the present thinking we will get 10, that is41% less.
We may have to switch to Induction Stoves,again Telescoping Electricity tariff?
Yet this decision could have bee communicated better instead of bluntly saying ‘Six Cylinders a Year’
The Government’s original decision would have been Ten year;six is testing the water.
Could have tested nicely!

“New Delhi, Sept 17: There seems to be some relief for aam aadmi. Government is contemplating to raise the limit on the number of subsidised LPG cylinders from six to ten cylinders per household per year, say sources.
Government’s decision is purely based on the fierce opposition it has received from all quarters after it had announced hike in diesel prices and put a cap on LPG cylinder recently.
The diesel price has been increased by Rs 5 a litre and each household will get only six domestic LPG (14.2 Kg) cylinders per annum at a subsidised rate.
Along with opposition parties, a section of the Congress and its allies – the Trinamool Congress, NCP and DMK have been demanding a rollback of the cap on LPG cylinders.
Sources say that the government is expected to reach out to its ally Trinamool Congress and discuss a compromise over the cap in subsidised LPG cylinders. Sources add that Prime Minister Manmohan Singh is likely to call Mamata Banerjee on Monday, Sept 17 and arrive at a compromise over cap on subsidised LPG cylinders.
The latest decision of government on fuel price hike has come under immense criticism. The BJP-led NDA has announced a nation-wide strike over the price hike and LPG cap on Sept 20. Left parties have also announced a 12-hour all-India general strike on the same day.”
