To manage the available stock and prevent the misuse of subsidized cylinders, gas agencies across the country have introduced stringent measures targeting inactive accounts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Under the new directives, any LPG connection that has not seen a single booking in the last nine months will be moved to the &#8216;suspended&#8217; category. Authorities believe these dormant accounts are prone to black marketing or may qualify as &#8216;ghost connections.&#8217; The primary objective is to ensure that genuine, active users receive their subsidies and refills without interruption during this supply crunch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To reactivate a suspended service, customers must undergo a mandatory KYC (Know Your Customer) verification. This can be done by visiting the local gas agency with a copy of the Aadhaar card and bank passbook for biometric or facial recognition. For convenience, users can also complete e-KYC via the mobile apps or web portals of Indane, HP, or Bharat Gas using an Aadhaar-linked OTP. Once the data is updated, the booking facility will be restored within 24 to 48 hours.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The escalating geopolitical tensions in the Gulf region have started impacting global LPG supplies, raising fears of a significant gas shortage in India.
