New Delhi, May 17
As part of the clean-up exercise in distribution of petroleum products, cooking gas supplies to households having unverified multiple connections will stop from June 1.

Oil companies have been “directed to stop supplies of LPG refills to households having multiple connections for which no KYC (know your customer) details have been received, with effect from June 1,” a statement issued by Indian Oil Corporation, the nation’s largest oil firm, said.

No transactions, including delivery of non-subsidised cylinders, will be permitted in such cases once such connections have been blocked.

Customers whose name figure on the list of multiple connection holders need to submit their KYC details along with proof of identity and proof of address immediately to their LPG distributors to continue receiving uninterrupted quota of subsidised cylinders, IOC said.

Other customers whose names do not appear in the list need not submit their KYC details as of now.

“The oil companies are advising all multiple-connection holders to submit their KYC details, pertaining to the LPG connection they wish to retain, immediately to their LPG distributors,” the statement said adding customers have been advised to surrender excess or multiple connections.
