LPG Gas Connection Issue, Bangalore

Jaya Jagannath,

Karnataka Government has taken a bold step and set deadline for all the citizens across the city to submit certain documents in order to get their gas refill for the next time. The reason for this action to be taken was the distribution of unwanted APL ration card and then getting a gas connection for the same. According to Government there are about 32 lakhs people above poverty line, however, the total demand has increased to 50 lakh ration card distributed in the city. This has raised question in the Government sector. The Government has asked everyone to submit their identity proof with the respective Gas agencies which will help them to get their gas refill next time. The documents to be submitted are:

1) Scanned copy of Electricity bill
2) Scanned copy of LPG Gas Connection pass book
3) IF you have ration card then the same will be needed.

Citizens have lined up before the LPG connection-holders in many parts of the city to submit details to cylinder distributing agencies. However, as the agencies themselves are confused about the guidelines, card-holders were left in a fix. In the meantime, the government on Saturday issued fresh guidelines to clear doubts over submission of particulars for LPG holders. The Government has asked citizens not to panic the last date of submission has been extended to Feb 10. Citizens can submit documents in 3 ways:

1) Visiting your Gas Agency

2) By Post ( Commissioner, Food & Civil Supplies and Consumer Affairs Department, No. 8, Marketing Federation Building, Cunningham Road, Bangalore-560052 )

3) Fax the Document : 22372204

4) Online document submission : at http://web5.kar.nic.in/fcslpg/main.aspx or http://ahara.kar.nic.in

Once you submit the documents and fill up the relevant information, you will provided with a acknowledgement number which you can show to the respective agencies. The department has launched a toll free phone number 1800-425-9339 to help consumers get more details.
