It will be difficult for 1.84 lakh consumers to get gas: If biometric e-KYC is not done, domestic gas booking will not happen from today onwards.

A new system is being implemented for domestic LPG gas consumers starting October 1st. Now, the refill booking of domestic gas cylinders will be suspended for those consumers who have not undergone biometric Aadhaar authentication (BAA). Indian Oil Corporation has sent related instructions to all dealers in the state, including Ranchi. This rule applies to both Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana (PMUY) and general domestic gas connections (non-PMUY).
