Don't miss to submit KYC form for LPG Connection : Last date Nov 15

Every household with more than one gas connection or having incomplete address will have to fill the 'Know Your Customer (KYC) ' form by October 31 (Extended to Nov 15) failing which the existing connections would be cancelled. However, those having only one connection in their name can fill the KYC by March 31, 2013, and submit it to their respective gas agencies.

KYC Forms

-------------------------------------


In a nationwide exercise to weed out multiple or ghost connections, the state-owned oil firms had previously asked their domestic cooking gas (LPG) distributors to collect and verify duly filled KYC forms from the consumers by October 31.

"We have now decided to extend the deadline by 15 days to November 15," a senior Oil Ministry official said here.

The drive to weed out multiple connections at same address follow last month's government decision to cap supply of subsidised LPG to six cylinders per household in a year.

The official said oil firms are implementing the policy of 'one household, one connection' and have asked consumers to voluntarily give up additional connections.

Multiple LPG connections in the 'same name and at the same address' as well as 'husband and wife' owning connections at the same address would be summarily disconnected.

In case of multiple connections at same address under different names, distributors have been asked to collect KYC forms to verify genuine users.

Consumers in the KYC form have to gives all the necessary details like name, date of birth, father's name, mother's name, spouse name, complete address with pin-code and also an optional information about bank details. They have to submit self-attested photocopies of address and ID proof along with the filled in form.
