LPG Subsidy: Complete e-KYC by Aug 16, 2026, to Save Rs 300

If you use LPG for your cooking gas, there’s a crucial deadline approaching that you absolutely need to mark on your calendar. Oil marketing companies have set August 16, 2026, as the final date to complete your Aadhaar-based biometric e-KYC.

Why This Deadline Matters for Your Wallet

Missing this deadline means you’ll lose out on your valuable LPG subsidy, especially if you’re a beneficiary of the Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana (PMUY) scheme. Instead of getting your cylinders at a domestic rate, you will have to pay the higher market price for your Indane Gas, Bharat Gas, or HP Gas cylinders.

Here are the key figures you need to know:

• Your e-KYC deadline is August 16, 2026.
• The PMUY scheme offers a Rs 300 subsidy per 14.2 Kg cylinder.

How to Complete Your Biometric e-KYC

The e-KYC process is straightforward and uses your Aadhaar for biometric verification. Remember, this is only necessary if you haven’t completed it already.

• For Indane Gas customers, you can use the IndianOil One App or the AadhaarFaceRD App.
• If you’re a Bharat Gas user, complete your e-KYC through the Hello BPCL App.
• HP Gas customers can use the HP Pay App or the Aadhaar FaceRD app to update their details.

What Happens If You Don’t Comply?

Failing to complete your e-KYC by the deadline means you will no longer be eligible for the subsidized household rate. While oil marketing companies haven’t specified commercial LPG prices, you definitely won’t receive the lower domestic rate.

Make sure to complete your e-KYC well before August 16, 2026, to keep receiving your LPG subsidy and avoid paying more for your gas cylinders.
