LPG Gas KYC Update: The Central Government and government oil companies have taken a very important decision for domestic LPG gas consumers across the country. To prevent black marketing of gas cylinders and to ensure that the benefits of government schemes reach the genuine beneficiaries, the Aadhaar-based e-KYC process has been made mandatory. Customers who have not yet completed their KYC will have their gas subsidy permanently stopped. Government oil companies have set a deadline of August 16, 2026 for this process. Therefore, customers must verify their gas account with Aadhaar before this deadline. 

Subsidies for ‘these’ people will be cancelled

  • Customers with incomplete e-KYC: Those who have not verified their Aadhaar by August 16.
  • High Income Group: Families whose annual income is more than Rs 10 lakh will also be excluded from the subsidy list under this rule.
  • Invalid and duplicate connections: Fake and additional gas connections taken in the same name or address are being blocked directly. LPG Gas KYC Update

What will be the loss if the deadline is missed?

If customers do not complete e-KYC within the given time, they will have to face some difficulties… LPG Gas KYC Update

  • Gas subsidy stopped: The subsidy directly deposited into bank accounts will stop completely.
  • Expensive gas cylinders: Instead of the domestic subsidized rate, consumers will have to buy gas at commercial or non-subsidized market prices.
  • Barriers in refill booking: While booking gas cylinders online, customer login may be blocked or booking may be rejected. LPG Gas KYC Update

Easy way to do e-KYC from home via mobile

Customers do not need to stand in queues at gas agencies. With the help of a mobile app, this process can be completed in just a few minutes…

  • Download the official mobile application of your gas company (e.g. Indane, Bharat Gas or HP Gas) from the Play Store.
  • Login to the app using the mobile number linked to your gas connection.
  • Go to the app’s menu and click on the ‘e-KYC’ or ‘Aadhaar Verification’ option.
  • Scan your face using your mobile camera.
  • Once the information in Aadhaar matches, your process will be completed successfully. LPG Gas KYC Update

Big changes in the rules of Ujjwala Yojana

Along with this e-KYC drive, the government has also limited the number of subsidized cylinders per year for Ujjwala scheme beneficiaries. Instead of the 9 subsidized cylinders available earlier, now only 4 cylinders will be eligible for a subsidy of Rs 300 per year. If more cylinders are required, the consumers will have to pay the full price. The government has taken this drastic step to curb the rising global cost and misuse of gas. Therefore, it is very important for all gas consumers to complete their verification drive before August 16 to avoid any financial inconvenience. LPG Gas KYC Update
