LPG: E-KYC deadline extended; failure to complete it by this date could lead to gas connection disconnection
Here is important information for consumers who use LPG cylinders. If you haven't completed your E-KYC yet, there is good news: the deadline has been extended. Read on to find out more.
While there are many alternatives for cooking today—such as PNG and induction stoves—LPG cylinders remain the primary choice for a vast number of households. If you use an LPG cylinder at home but haven't completed the E-KYC process, there is no need to worry; consumers have now been granted until August 31 to complete it.
Many people had not completed their E-KYC by August 23 and feared their gas connections might be cut off. Instead of worrying, however, you should simply complete the E-KYC process as soon as possible.

The best part is that you don't need to go anywhere to complete the E-KYC; you can do it online from home. Here is how to complete the E-KYC process online:
