LPG Consumers Urged to Complete e-KYC by August 16 to Retain Subsidized Rates
Domestic LPG consumers in Bengal are urged to complete biometric Aadhaar authentication (e-KYC) by August 16 to continue receiving cylinders at subsidized domestic rates. Despite reminders via text messages and calls, many consumers have yet to complete the process, with distributors reporting low turnout and ongoing efforts to assist, including home visits for seniors. Failure to complete e-KYC will result in ineligibility for subsidized cylinders and cessation of direct cash benefits. The new cylinder price post-deadline has not been announced.
