LPG Cylinder Booking Rules: The month of May started and booking gas cylinder also became expensive. On the very first day of the month, Indian oil marketing companies increased the prices of commercial gas cylinders, which is the biggest increase till date.
The price of commercial gas cylinder has been increased by Rs 993 and this is the first time that the price of LPG has crossed the Rs 3000 mark. Indian Oil has also announced a huge increase in the prices of 5Kg mini LPG cylinder, which is in great demand in the current situation of tension in the Middle East.
Today we are going to tell you through this news that how will you be able to book your LPG cylinder from Indane Gas, Bharat Gas and HP Gas from the month of May?
Now you will not be able to book within this many days
Amidst the tension in the Middle East, the Indian government took several steps to stop the crisis of LPG shortage. One of these is the refilling lock-in period. The government has increased the booking time from 21 to 25 days in urban areas and to 45 days in rural areas. If you try to book before this deadline, the system will not accept your booking and will automatically stop it.
OTP-based delivery required
Now after booking LPG cylinder, you will get confirmation of the order on your registered mobile number. However, at the time of delivery of LPG, it is necessary to give one-time password (OTP) to the delivery agent. Otherwise you will not get your LPG cylinder. Last month, the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas said that if consumers do not share OTP, delivery of LPG will not be possible.
This step has been taken so that the gas cylinders do not fall into the wrong hands. Also, OMCs have stressed on giving priority to OTP-based delivery to avoid mishandling of LPG cylinders and ensure transparency.
Aadhaar-based eKYC
The government has made Aadhaar based e-KYC mandatory for the beneficiaries of Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana. The ministry said that this rule is only for those people who have not yet done e-KYC. Those who have already got their KYC done, there is no need to ask them to get it done again.
