Moving to another city? Here’s how to transfer your LPG connection. What can you do if you don't have proof of address?

Working professionals and students often have to change their homes or cities. Moving house means your address changes, requiring you to transfer utility services—such as electricity, water, and gas—to your new location. Many people worry about their gas connection: how to get it transferred to the new address and what happens to the existing connection. A gas agency in Noida has outlined a simple process for this.

An LPG gas connection can be transferred to a new address. If you are moving within the same city, the address change process is simple. However, moving to a different city involves a specific procedure to transfer the connection. Once this process is complete, you can avail of the gas connection in the new city.

The gas agency explained that if you are transferring the connection to a different address within the same city, you simply need to complete the KYC process by providing proof of address. Gas delivery to your new address will then commence. However, moving to a different city requires a specific set of steps. First, you must contact your current gas agency and surrender your gas cylinder and regulator. You will also need to submit your gas subscription voucher, consumer card, and other necessary documents.

After surrendering these items, the gas agency will issue a termination voucher. You will then receive a refund of the security deposit paid to the old agency, in accordance with the rules. Following this, you can contact a gas agency in your new city.

Visit the gas agency nearest to your new address. You will need to submit the termination voucher from your previous connection along with documents verifying your new address. Once the document verification is complete, the agency will provide you with a new connection, cylinder, and regulator. However, you will be required to pay a security deposit, just as you would for a new connection. 

Difficulty in obtaining address proof for a gas connection
Obtaining a gas connection in a new city can be challenging due to address proof requirements, as documents like your Aadhaar card, Voter ID, or passport often list your old address. In such cases, you need to explore other options; for instance, you can use a rent agreement or obtain an accommodation letter from your company.
