Oil marketing companies (OMCs) - including Indian Oil Corporation (Indane), Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited (HPCL), and Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited (BPCL) - earlier pushed the final cutoff date from August 16 to August 23 to accommodate remaining users and ease heavy foot traffic at local distribution centres.

While the initial deadline led to long queues and heavy rushes at agency offices, officials have clarified that failing to complete the verification process may result in temporary service disruptions or a hold on receiving cylinders at domestic subsidised rates until the e-KYC compliance is fulfilled. Consumers who have already completed their biometric validation do not need to repeat the process.
How To Complete LPG e-KYC Remotely

- Bharat Gas: Open the Hello BPCL app, register or log in using your registered mobile number, and choose the e-KYC authentication tab.
- HP Gas: Access the HP Pay app, head to the "My HP" section, and follow the prompts for Aadhaar-based verification. US Becomes India’s Largest LPG Supplier, Accounts for 67% of Imports: Hardeep Puri.
