Mumbai residents are urged to finish the Aadhaar-based e-KYC process for their LPG connections as the deadline approaches on August 15, 2026. Oil marketing companies are notifying customers to update their records ahead of the deadline. Those who haven't completed the process should verify their status using their gas company's official app, website, or by contacting their distributor.
The deadline is intended to help verify customer identities and update LPG connection details. To avoid issues with cylinder refills, subsidies, and eligibility for benefits like Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana, consumers must confirm their e-KYC status. Many e-KYC processes are still pending, particularly in Pune district, where nearly 5 lakh out of 6 lakh customers await verification.
To complete e-KYC, customers can use official apps, visit their gas provider's website, or contact authorized gas agencies. They will need their Aadhaar card, mobile number, and LPG connection details. The process is crucial as it helps prevent fake connections and ensures subsidies reach eligible households.
