To enhance service efficiency and curb fraud, the Indian government now allows Aadhaar cards to be linked with LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas) connections. This integration improves security, ensures accurate delivery, and simplifies the subsidy disbursement process. Regardless of whether you use a public or private LPG distributor, linking your Aadhaar has become a crucial step toward a more seamless and secure LPG service experience.

Online Linking Process (Step-by-Step):

1. Begin by visiting the official UIDAI website

2. Select 'LPG' from the "Benefit Type" options

3. Choose your specific gas provider (e.g., 'IOCL' for Indane) from the scheme list

4. Pick your local distributor and enter your LPG consumer number

5. Provide your mobile number, email address, and Aadhaar details

6. Submit the information and wait for OTP verification

7. Enter the OTPs received on your mobile and email

8. Await confirmation after official verification

Alternative Methods:

Offline Submission:

• Obtain the subsidy form from your provider's website

• Complete the form with all required details

• Submit it personally at your nearest distributor's office

Via Customer Support:

• Contact your LPG provider's call center

• Follow the operator's guidance to complete linking

The verification process typically takes a short time to complete. Upon successful linking, you'll receive confirmation notifications through both email and SMS on your registered contacts.

This integration serves multiple purposes:

• Enhances security of LPG distribution

• Reduces potential for fraudulent connections

• Improves accuracy of subsidy distribution

• Simplifies the consumer verification process

The system is designed to work uniformly across all major LPG providers in India. Consumers can choose their preferred method of linking based on convenience, whether through the online portal, physical submission, or telephone assistance.

Remember to keep your Aadhaar details and LPG consumer number handy before beginning the process. The linking remains valid until you choose to modify or update your information through the same channels.
