The hassle of long lines for gas cylinders is over! New connection of Indane, Bharat and HP now sitting at home, know the 5 minute magical method

New Delhi: The increasing tension between America, Israel and Iran has created panic in the gas market all over the world. Due to the crisis in the Strait of Hormuz, from where 20 percent of the world’s oil and gas is supplied, there is a shortage of LPG cylinders in India too. From Uttarakhand to Punjab, Haryana and Rajasthan, huge crowds are gathering at gas agencies. The situation is that a cylinder worth Rs 900 is being sold in the black market for Rs 1800 to Rs 3500.

Locks on hotels and restaurants, chaos in home kitchens

The impact of this gas crisis is now visible on the common man’s plate. Hotels and restaurants in many cities are on the verge of closure. Those who already have a connection are facing weeks of delay in getting refills. The biggest problem is facing those people who want to get a new connection and are tired of making rounds of agencies. But in the meantime a relief news has come. Now you do not need to go to the office of Indane, Bharat Gas or HP, you can apply from home in just 5 minutes.

Easy way to apply online

If you want a new domestic LPG connection, first of all visit the official website of the company of your choice (indianoil.in, ebharatgas.com or myhpgas.in). There on the homepage you will see the option of ‘New Domestic LPG Connection’ or ‘Register’. Create a new account by entering your name, mobile number and email here.

Required documents and registration process

After creating the account, select your date of birth, complete address and nearest gas agency in the form. For identification, you will have to upload your identity card (Voter ID or PAN card) and a scanned copy of ration card, electricity bill or rent agreement as proof of address. Along with this, also enter a passport size photo and bank account information. You can pay the security deposit (about Rs 1500-2000) and other fees online through UPI or debit card. You will get a registration number once the form is submitted.

Verification and activation time

Your application will reach the chosen agency directly in digital form. A subscription voucher is issued after scrutiny of documents by the agency. After this, a technician will come to your home and do physical verification and your connection will be activated. This entire process takes only 2 to 7 days. You can track the status of your application on the website or mobile app (IndianOil ONE or myHPGas) by entering your registration number. Indane customers can also start the process by giving a missed call on 8454955555.

Ujjwala scheme is a boon for poor families

If you belong to a BPL family, then Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana (PMUY) is the biggest relief for you. Women can apply for free connection by visiting pmuy.gov.in. In this, the government bears the entire cost of cylinder, regulator and first gas refill. This not only leads to economic savings, but clean fuel also improves the health of women.

Avoid black marketing and stay safe

In this era of gas crisis, the government is on full alert and strict action is being taken against those involved in black marketing. By adopting digital medium you can escape from the clutches of middlemen. Get a new connection in the official way and make your kitchen safe.
