The government has expanded the OTP-based Delivery Authentication Code (DAC) system to curb LPG diversion and black marketing. Coverage has risen to 72 percent, with a target of 80% of deliveries. Customers must share the OTP at delivery, while the system digitally flags irregularities, ensuring cylinders reach the rightful household.
India's cooking gas distribution network has long been plagued by a quiet crisis - subsidised LPG cylinders meant for households routinely ended up in the black market, diverted by unscrupulous delivery personnel and agents. With the LPG crisis now deepening due to the US-Iran war, the government's answer to this is deceptively simple - an OTP.
What Is the DAC System?
The Delivery Authentication Code (DAC) is a one-time-use code used to verify the legitimacy of home LPG cylinder delivery, ensuring the cylinder reaches the rightful customer. When a booking is made, the customer receives the code on their registered mobile number, which must be shown to the delivery person before the cylinder changes hands.
