If you are a domestic LPG consumer, here is an urgent and crucial update for you. The government and gas distribution companies have made e-KYC mandatory for all domestic gas connections. If you have not completed your e-KYC yet, you only have until August 15 to get it done. Failing to meet this strict deadline will result in your gas connection being permanently closed or temporarily suspended.Why is the LPG e-KYC Campaign Happening?According to gas agency operators, the primary goal of this massive verification drive is to ensure accurate consumer identification. Over the years, many consumers have relocated, changed their home addresses, or switched their mobile numbers without officially updating their respective gas agencies.Furthermore, numerous connections have not booked a cylinder in a very long time. This mandatory e-KYC process will help authorities update outdated records, verify inactive users, and streamline the distribution system to prevent any misuse.Local Impact: 2 Lakh Consumers Pending in GhaziabadHighlighting the scale of this initiative in Ghaziabad, District Supply Officer Amit Tiwari revealed that the district houses approximately 12 lakh registered domestic LPG consumers. At the same time, a commendable 10 lakh users have already successfully completed their e-KYC; around 2 lakh consumers are still pending.To ensure nobody misses the deadline, local gas agencies are proactively sending SMS alerts and making phone calls to these pending consumers. In addition to regular digital reminders, special KYC camps are being actively set up across the district to expedite the biometric process before the August 15 cutoff.4 Easy Ways to Complete Your LPG e-KYCThe District Supply Officer has clarified that consumers have multiple convenient options to complete their biometric verification.
