Oil Firms Extend LPG e-KYC Deadline to August 31
Oil companies in India want LPG customers to verify their identity using Aadhaar.
The earlier deadline was August 23, but it has been moved to August 31.
People can complete the check at an LPG distributor or through their company’s mobile app.
The apps use a face scan to confirm the customer’s identity.
Indane, Bharat Gas and HP Gas customers use different apps for this process.
Most LPG users in Telangana had completed the check by August 25.
The companies say gas refills will continue even after the new deadline.
However, people who do not complete the check could face uncertainty about how often they receive refills later.
Indian Oil, HPCL and BPCL extended the LPG e-KYC deadline from August 23 to August 31.
Consumers can verify their Aadhaar details through an LPG distributor or their oil company’s mobile app.
Indane, Bharat Gas and HP Gas customers can use their respective apps with Aadhaar-based face authentication.
Telangana reported 82% e-KYC compliance among its approximately 1.26 crore LPG consumers by August 25.
LPG refills will continue after August 31, though supply frequency for non-compliant customers may depend on further government directions.
