Kumuda Girish, Deputy Director (DD) of Food, Civil Supplies and Consumer Affairs Department has clarified that no deadline has been issued for the domestic LPG consumers to get their e-KYC (Know Your Consumer) done at their respective agencies.
A rumour stating that domestic consumers will be deemed as commercial consumers or their LPG connection will be cut, if they fail to get their e-KYC done for their consumer ID at gas agencies before Dec. 31 and also provide their bank account details to obtain the subsidy amount, has created a confusion among consumers. But the domestic consumers should not lend ears to such rumours, as neither the Central Government nor gas agencies have fixed any deadline. E-KYC is a continuous process and those beneficiaries of Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana and subsidy scheme can get it done on priority for free without paying any charges.
