Final e-KYC reminder for LPG consumers
The government is sending final reminders to LPG consumers to complete their e-KYC by August 16.
This is important because it helps the government give subsidies to the right people and stop fraud.
If consumers don't complete e-KYC, they might have to pay more for their LPG cylinders.
Most people have already done this, but some still need to finish it.
The government says it's important, but some people might find it hard or confusing.
Domestic LPG consumers in Bengal are receiving final reminders to complete e-KYC by August 16.

About 77% of non-Ujjwala LPG consumers in Bengal have completed e-KYC.
The current cost of a 14.2kg LPG cylinder is ₹968.
The subsidy amount credited to eligible consumers is ₹19.57 per cylinder.
