ANSWER: Only 2

Explanation:

  • Those who voluntarily give up the LPG cylinder subsidy under the government’s Give It Up scheme can ask for it after a year.
  • Give It Up is for one year. One does not need to apply to give it up again, he/she will still be considered as having given it up. But, after a year, the person can re-apply for the subsidy if he wishes.
  • The usual understanding is that once you have given it up, you can’t get it back.
