Procedure to Book an LPG Gas Cylinder

1. To receive an LPG cylinder, a consumer would first have to submit an application to any of the three LPG suppliers, Indane, Bharat or HP Gas Providers.
2. The application process can be completed either offline or online, depending on the customer's convenience.
3. Those who wish to register for an LPG connection offline can simple visit one of the distributorships in their locality and collect the application form.
4. The same form is to be filled in and submitted to the same distributorship along with identity and address proof documentation.
5. This is to ensure that each household receives only one LPG connection and to regulate the number of LPG cylinders in the market.
6. Once the application has been processed and is accepted, the consumer will receive a notification regarding the same and will receive the first cylinder.

Subsequent cylinders can be booked through IVRS, SMS or online.

How to Refill an LPG Gas Cylinder?

1. Consumers who have an LPG gas connection are allowed to have a maximum of 1 cylinder in use and one spare cylinder with them at any point of time.
2. Once a cylinder has been exhausted, the consumer will have to book another cylinder by either calling on the LPG provider's number through the IVRS system or sending an SMS.
3. A gas cylinder can also be booked online by visiting the gas company's website and making a booking. The consumer will have to sign in to the website with his/her user ID and consumer number and follow the instructions provided.
4. Consumers can also choose to visit the gas agency from where they receive their LPG cylinders and book a cylinder in person.
5. The gas companies have recently started a mobile app through which a new cylinder can be booked, with the consumer allowed to choose the date the cylinder would be delivered to their home.

Linking Aadhaar With Gas Connection

In an effort to regulate the number of LPG connections and keep a tab on the subsidized cylinders in the market, the government is urging consumers to link their Aadhaar cards to their LPG connections.

1. Consumers will have to link their Aadhar card to their bank account.
2. After this, they will have to link the Aadhar card with LPG connection.
3. By linking the two, consumers will receive the subsidy amount directly into their bank accounts.

This is being done to make it easier for consumers to receive their subsidy directly into their bank accounts. It also helps the government identify the usage of each household and ensure there is no selling of subsidized cylinders in black.
