Yes, the short answer is that KYC (Know Your Customer) is definitely required if you want to get an LPG gas cylinder in India or keep getting your subsidy. Many people ask this because they are confused about the new rules. Basically, the government and companies like Indane, HP, and Bharat Gas want to make sure that one person does not have multiple connections in their name.
If you are a new customer, you cannot get a gas connection without submitting your KYC documents. You will need your Aadhaar Card, a photo, and address proof like a ration card or electricity bill. Even for old customers, the government has made "e-KYC" mandatory now. If you don't do this, your gas subsidy (the money that comes back to your bank) might stop, or your connection could be blocked.
The process is simple. You can visit your local gas agency with your Aadhaar and get your fingerprint scanned. Many apps also allow you to do it from home using face scanning. Doing KYC is important because it keeps the system clean and ensures that only real people get the benefit of cheap gas. So, if your agency is asking for it, don't wait—just get it done to avoid any trouble with your gas booking.
