Odisha mandates e-KYC to access cooking gas cylinders
Change
Odisha made electronic know your customer (e-KYC) mandatory for domestic liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) consumers and instructed LPG distributors to supply cylinders only to customers who have completed e-KYC.
Why it matters
Households that have not completed electronic identity verification will be excluded from authorised cylinder refills and must complete registration before receiving deliveries. The state has also increased enforcement against illegal 1 kg and 5 kg cylinder sales, including seizures, reducing informal purchase options during shortages.
Implications
- • Domestic liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) consumers in Odisha must complete electronic know your customer (e-KYC) registration before requesting cylinder refills — distributors will not supply cylinders to customers without completed e-KYC.
- • Individuals illegally selling 1 kg and 5 kg cooking gas cylinders in Odisha must cease those sales and surrender stocks or face seizure and legal action.
