Starting October 1, 2026, domestic cooking gas consumers across India must complete Biometric Aadhaar Authentication (BAA) to continue receiving the ₹210 government subsidy per cylinder. The Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas introduced the updated regulation to curb misuse, eliminate duplicate connections, and prevent domestic subsidized cylinders from being diverted to commercial entities. Key Changes to Subsidies and Cylinder Bookings No Service Interruption, But Subsidy Halted: Consumers who miss the verification deadline will not lose their connections or access to LPG refills. However, until authentication is finalized, refills must be purchased at the standard non-subsidized retail market rate. One-Time Process: Customers who have previously completed their biometric e-KYC are fully compliant and do not need to repeat the procedure. Uniform Booking Interval: Following recent policy adjustments, the minimum required interval between consecutive bookings is set at 25 days uniformly across all urban and rural regions, standardizing the previous 45-day waiting period once enforced in rural areas. Monthly Price Review: As with regular practice, public sector Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs) will adjust domestic and commercial LPG rates on October 1 in alignment with global crude oil benchmarks. Verifying Connection and e-KYC Status Domestic gas consumers can verify their subsidy status and e-KYC completion online by accessing the unified central portal (MyLPG.in) or by logging into the customer service platforms of their respective distributors—Indane, Bharat Gas, or HP Gas.
