Government Extends LPG e-KYC Deadline to August 31 for Consumer Verification
The government has extended the deadline for LPG consumers to complete the mandatory e-KYC process from August 23 to August 31. This exercise aims to verify genuine customers, prevent connections obtained through fake documents, and ensure domestic-rate LPG cylinders reach eligible households. Consumers who miss the deadline can still buy LPG at market prices but may face supply disruptions. The process can be completed via LPG distributors or official mobile apps, with Aadhaar linkage facilitating easier verification.
