Oil marketing companies (OMCs) will stop supplies of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) cylinders to households having multiple-connections with no KYC (know your customer) details provide from June 1 onwards.
“No transactions, including delivery of non-subsidised cylinders, will be permitted in such cases once such connections have been blocked,” a government statement said today. Customer data has been shared between IndialOil Corporation, Hindustan Petroleum Corporation and Bharat Petroleum and all multiple LPG connection holders have been identified and intimated.
“A list of such customers is also displayed at the respective LPG distributorships and published in the OMC websites. Only these customers need to submit their KYC details along with proof of identity (POI) and proof of address (POA) immediately to their LPG distributors so as to receive their uninterrupted quota of subsidized cylinders,” the statement added.
The companies advised all the multiple-connection holders to submit their KYC details, pertaining to the LPG connection they wish to retain to avoid disconnection. Though the deadline for submission of KYC was 31st December 2012, KYCs are being accepted and LPG connections are being regularised for supply of subsidised cylinders till date.
