The Ministry has said that the requirement of eKYC applies to those LPG consumers who have not done eKYC so far. Non-Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana (PMUY) customers who have done it before, need not do it again.

PMUY customers need to do it only once every financial year and only for receiving targeted DBT subsidies after 7 refills, for 8th and 9th refill. It added, eKYC can be done easily sitting at home, free of cost and supply of refills is not affected in any case. The Ministry further said that eKYC ensures transparency, establishes clear eligibility, weeds out ghost consumers and discourages diversion of LPG.

The clarification is in regard to news reports circulating on the issue of Biometric Aadhaar Authentication for LPG consumers.
