The record
Written from the 1 report below. Nothing here is unsourced.
- Oil marketing companies have made Aadhaar-based electronic KYC mandatory for all LPG consumers, with an August 16 deadline to continue getting cylinders at the notified domestic rate.
- Consumers are being alerted through SMS and can complete e-KYC from home via the IndianOil One app, through their distributor, or via the delivery person.
- Those who miss the deadline will not be eligible for cylinders at domestic rates until e-KYC is completed, and PM Ujjwala Yojana beneficiaries could face hurdles in receiving their subsidy.
- Separately, commercial 19-kg LPG cylinder prices were cut from August 1, while domestic 14-kg cylinder prices stayed unchanged at Rs 942 in Delhi, Rs 968 in Kolkata, Rs 941.50 in Mumbai and Rs 957.50 in Chennai.
What to watch next
- Whether consumers complete e-KYC before the August 16 deadline and how many face supply interruptions after it
- Impact on PM Ujjwala Yojana beneficiaries' Rs 300-per-cylinder DBT subsidy if e-KYC remains pending
- Any further changes to commercial or domestic LPG cylinder prices in upcoming monthly revisions
