Important news has emerged for LPG gas cylinder customers. A major change has been made to the rules for LPG cylinders. The government has implemented a new regulation. Mobile numbers registered with gas connections can no longer be changed immediately. Petroleum companies have implemented a new system to ensure security and prevent fraud.
According to the new LPG cylinder rules, the mobile number registered with the gas connection can be changed immediately. You will have to wait 90 days before changing your mobile number. Biometric verification and KYC procedures have also been made mandatory.
Complaints of fraudulent delivery and black marketing due to changing mobile numbers on gas connections are frequent. In many cases, mobile numbers have been changed without customers' knowledge. To prevent this, petroleum companies have tightened regulations. This has come as a shock to the common man, as it will take 90 days to change the mobile number registered with a gas connection.
Previously, customers could update their mobile number immediately through the gas agency or portal. However, this process has now been discontinued. It will take 90 days for the new number to be fully activated. Biometric verification and KYC are now required for mobile number changes. This will ensure the authenticity of the person making the change.
Many customers may face difficulties after the new system is implemented. Those who want to change their number immediately will now have to wait longer. Delays in updating their mobile number may cause problems with gas booking and receiving delivery messages. Consequently, the time required may also delay customers receiving their gas cylinders.
