LPG e-KYC Deadline Extended to August 23; Verification Required to Retain Subsidy
The LPG e-KYC deadline for Indane, Bharat Gas, and HP Gas customers has been extended to August 23, 2026. Customers must complete Aadhaar-based biometric verification to continue receiving domestic-rate LPG cylinders and subsidies. Failure to comply will suspend access to subsidized cylinders, limiting purchases to higher commercial rates. While the process can be completed via respective apps or distributors, some users report technical difficulties and limited support options, prompting calls for improved assistance.
