These consumers had two LPG connections under different names and addresses from different companies but had one Aadhaar number.
Petroleum Minister M Veerappa Moily said Wednesday that Aadhar card will no longer be made mandatory for giving LPG subsidies unless cleared by Supreme Court.
The ministry is implementing the scheme for transfer of LPG subsidy in cash to bank accounts of actual consumers in 97 districts of the country with a view to eliminating diversions and plug leakages.
"Aadhaar is only an identification card. We will not make it mandatory unless Supreme Court gives a clearance," Moily told reporters here.
