Aadhaar Biometric: An important process related to Aadhaar has been implemented for consumers using LPG gas cylinders for cooking at home. Completion of Biometric Aadhaar Authentication has been made mandatory for booking subsidized domestic LPG cylinders from 1 October 2026. Customers who have already completed this process need not do it again. According to the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas, authentication of 27.43 crore i.e. 89.9 per cent active LPG customers had been completed till 19 September 2026.

How to do e-KYC at home?

Customers can use the respective mobile application as per their gas connection. Inden Gas customers IndianOil ONE, Bharat Gas customers HelloBPCL and HP Gas customers can complete the process through the HP PAY app. Apart from this, authentication can also be done with the help of the delivery staff at the time of cylinder delivery. Customers can also complete this process by visiting their gas distributor's showroom.

What happens if biometric is not done?

Biometric authentication is required to get cylinders at controlled price with subsidy. Customers who do not want or are unable to undergo this process can register their preference through the gas company's digital means. However, they can get 5 or 10 kg cylinders at market price without subsidy depending on availability. Customers are also provided the facility to contact LPG's toll free helpline at 1800 2333 555 for more information.
