In an effort to make it easier for new gas connection, re-filling and delivery of household cylinders, the Government has appointed Common Service Centres (CSCs) to provide such facilities through Digital Seva Portal.

Public Sector Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs), including Indian Oil Corporation (IOCL), Hindustan Petroleum Corporation (HPCL) and Bharat Petroleum Corporation (BPCL) have agreed to provide the benefits of Ujjawla connection, re-filling of new connection and other services through CSCs – a last mile access at consumers’ doorstep.

Role of CSCs

Public Sector Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs) and CSC E-Governance Services India Limited signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on 03 November, 2019 to facilitate these services through the CSC Network across the Country.

CSCs will help the beneficiary to scan/upload his/her KYC document for verification of his/her identity for new booking connection. Beneficiaries can now collect the gas cylinder from their nearby CSC. CSC SPV and OMCs have agreed to facilitate their distributors to provide the following services through the Common Services Centres:

• • Booking new LPG connection (Ujjwala & General category)
• • Booking of LPG refills (14.2 Kg cylinders)
• • Supply & distribution of LPG cylinders (storage up to 100 Kgs,) through CSCs.

The Services are live on CSC National Portal, Digital Seva, since February, 2019.
