Independent guide. Money Schemes is not a government website and does not take applications or payments. Apply only on the official portal, at a post office, a bank branch or a Common Service Centre.
Ujjwala yojana registration online is done from the official PMUY portal, where an adult woman from a poor household picks one of the three public sector gas companies, chooses a nearby distributor and fills the KYC form for a deposit-free LPG connection. The same form can also be printed and handed in at the distributor's office, which is often quicker in villages.
This page walks through each screen, the papers to keep ready, and what to do if the request is stuck. This is an independent guide, not the government. For the scheme itself (benefits, subsidy, who runs it) see our PM Ujjwala Yojana overview.

Who can file the form
The PMUY portal sets three basic conditions. The applicant must be a woman who has turned 18. Nobody in her household may already hold an LPG connection from any of the gas companies. And the household must be poor, shown either by belonging to a listed group or by signing a deprivation declaration in the set format.
The listed groups include Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe households, families under PM Awas Yojana Gramin, Antyodaya Anna Yojana card holders, Most Backward Classes, forest dwellers, tea and ex-tea garden tribes, people living on islands and river islands, and households in the SECC list. A family outside these groups can still qualify through the deprivation declaration, which the distributor checks.
Papers to keep ready before you start
- The KYC application form (online or printed from the portal)
- Aadhaar of the applicant
- Ration card issued by the state, or another state document that shows who lives in the family
- Aadhaar of every adult named on that ration card or family document
- Bank passbook first page or a cancelled cheque, so the account number and IFSC can be entered
- Address proof, only if the address on Aadhaar is not where the cylinder will be delivered
- Deprivation declaration, when the family is not in a listed group
Migrant workers who do not have a ration card in the state where they now live may give a self-declaration (Annexure I) about their family instead.
Ujjwala yojana registration online, screen by screen
- Open pmuy.gov.in and choose the option to apply for a new Ujjwala 2.0 connection.
- Pick one of the three public sector gas companies. The portal sends you to that company's own application page.
- Select your state, district and a distributor close to home. The distributor list shows the address of each office.
- Enter the woman's name, date of birth, Aadhaar number and mobile number. Type in the OTP sent by SMS.
- Fill the family details exactly as they appear on the ration card, with the Aadhaar of each adult.
- Add the bank account number and IFSC.
- Choose the cylinder size (14.2 kg or 5 kg) and confirm that no LPG connection exists in the household.
- Upload the documents or note that you will show them at the distributor, then submit and save the reference number.
After submission the distributor does the KYC check and an address visit. When the connection is released, the stove, regulator, hose, consumer card and first filled cylinder are handed over.
Applying at the distributor instead
Many families find the offline route easier. Download or collect the KYC form, the supplementary KYC sheet, Annexure I for migrants and Annexure II for the pre-installation check. Fill them in, attach photocopies of the papers listed above, and hand them to the LPG distributor you want to be linked to. Ask for a dated receipt.
One national set of paper forms is used across India, so the Goa Ujjwala Yojana form is the same national KYC form used in Bihar or Assam. A Common Service Centre can also help fill the ujjwala yojana registration form online for a small service fee.
Ujjwala yojana check status by mobile number or Aadhar card
There is no single public page where you type a name and see the result. The request is tracked on the website of the gas company you chose. Log in there with the registered mobile number and the reference number from the submission. Some company sites also let you search using the Aadhar card number linked to the application.
If the online check shows nothing after a few weeks, visit the distributor with your receipt. The distributor can see whether the KYC is pending, rejected or approved. People searching for an Ujjwala yojana list name check online usually need this distributor check, since no printed village list is put out for this scheme.
When the request gets stuck
| What went wrong | Usual cause | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| Form rejected for existing connection | Someone at the same address already has LPG | Check old connections in the family; surrender a duplicate at its distributor |
| Name mismatch | Spelling differs between Aadhaar and ration card | Correct one document first, then apply again |
| OTP not arriving | Mobile not linked to Aadhaar or network delay | Use the mobile seeded with Aadhaar, or apply at the distributor |
| Pending for weeks | KYC or address visit not done | Visit the distributor with the receipt; call 14438 if no answer |
| Told no new connections | The yearly quota for new releases is used up | Ask the distributor to keep the form on record and recheck later |
Is the free gas cylinder offer still open
New Ujjwala connections are released in batches approved by the Union government. The latest official release approved 25 lakh more deposit-free connections, priced at 2,050 rupees each in the government's costing, and the PMUY portal showed most of that batch already released. So whether a fresh ujjwala yojana free gas cylinder apply online request is accepted depends on what quota is left near you. Ask the distributor, and do not pay anyone who promises a seat.
Searches for an Ujjwala 3.0 deadline are common, but no separate third phase or closing date appears on the official portal at the time of writing. Treat any page that sells a "last date" form as suspect.
After the connection comes home
Ujjwala customers get a targeted subsidy on 14.2 kg refills, paid into the linked bank account. The number of subsidised refills a year is decided by the Union government and has changed over time, so check the current figure on the PMUY portal or with the distributor. Keep the bank account active and seeded with Aadhaar so the money lands.
Families who also need help with food or housing can read about the free ration scheme and PM Awas Yojana Gramin; Antyodaya households can see the Antyodaya Anna Yojana page.
Frequently asked questions
Can a man apply for an Ujjwala connection?
No. The connection is released only in the name of an adult woman of the household. A man can help fill the form, but the applicant and the account holder must be the woman.
Is there a fee for ujjwala yojana registration?
The connection itself is deposit-free. Applying on the portal costs nothing. A CSC may charge a small service fee for typing the form, but nobody may charge for the connection.
What is the Ujjwala Yojana 2.0 online registration?
It is the current phase of the scheme. On top of the deposit-free connection, the first refill and a stove are given free, and migrant families may apply with a self-declaration instead of a local ration card.
How do I do pm ujjwala yojana online apply without a ration card?
Migrant applicants can use the self-declaration in Annexure I to state their family members and address. Others can use another state document that shows family composition. Ask the distributor which document they accept.
We already had a connection in the husband's name. Can the wife apply?
Not while that connection is active at the same household. The rule is one LPG connection per household, from any company.
Whom do I call if the distributor does not respond?
Call the Ujjwala helpline 14438 or the toll free LPG number 14428. For a gas leak, call 1906 at once.
