State owned oil marketing companies have decided to stop supplies of cooking gas (LPG) refills to households having multiple-connections for which no KYC (Know Your Customer) details have been received, with effect from 1st June 2013.
“No transactions, including delivery of non-subsidised cylinders, will be permitted in such cases once such connections have been blocked,” said a statement from Indian Oil Corporation (IOCL), India’s largest LPG supplier.
Customer data has been shared between the three oil firms IOCL, Hindustan Petroleum Corporation ( HPCL) and Bharat Petroleum Corporation ( BPCL) and all multiple LPG connection holders have been identified and intimated.
A list of such customers is also displayed at the respective LPG distributorships and published in the OMC websites, who need to submit their KYC details along with identity proof & address proof immediately to their LPG distributors so as to receive their uninterrupted quota of subsidized cylinders. Other customers whose names do not appear in the OMC websites need not submit their KYC details as they are not required to do so as of now.
“The PSU OMCs are, therefore, advising all multiple-connection holders to submit their KYC details, pertaining to the LPG connection they wish to retain, immediately to their LPG distributors,” said the IOC statement adding that such customers are also being advised to surrender their other LPG connections immediately to their LPG distributors to avoid blocking of further supplies.
“These customers will not be entitled to LPG refills till such time as they complete their KYC formalities,” said a senior IOC official.
Though the deadline for submission of KYC expired on December 31, 2012, KYCs are being accepted and LPG connections are being regularised for supply of subsidised cylinders till date.
