Aadhar mandatory for LPG refills
NEW DELHI: Govt has made biometric Aadhaar authentication mandatory for subsidised domestic LPG refills from Oct 1, reports Atul Mathur.The Union petroleum ministry said nearly 90% of consumers have already completed the authentication process. The remaining consumers can complete it at the time of delivery of the refill, at the dealer’s office or through oil companies’ mobile apps.“Linking connections to consumers prevents diversion of domestic cylinders for commercial use, removes ineligible connections, and makes subsidy delivery transparent,” the ministry added.
