How to Link Gas Connection with Aadhaar

If you want your LPG subsidy to reach your bank account, you must link your Aadhaar, bank account, and LPG consumer number under the DBTL/PAHAL scheme. The process can be done through your LPG company’s portal or by visiting your distributor. Here’s a clear breakdown of how the linking actually works.

Online Linking vs. Offline Linking

Online linking mainly means submitting Aadhaar and LPG details digitally through Indane, HP Gas or Bharat Gas portals. In many cases, the website provides a form that you fill and submit, and your distributor completes verification at their end.

Offline linking requires you to visit your LPG distributor with your Aadhaar copy and consumer booklet. This method is commonly used because distributors verify documents directly.

Online is convenient, but offline becomes necessary if your Aadhaar-linked mobile number is inactive, your consumer details need correction, or your distributor requires physical verification.

Step-by-Step Process: Online Linking

1. Visit Your LPG Provider Website

Go to the official portal of IndianOil (Indane), HP Gas or Bharat Gas.
Select services related to Aadhaar Seeding or PAHAL/DBTL.

2. Enter Your Basic Details

Provide:

• LPG consumer number
   
• Aadhaar number
   
• Registered mobile number
   
• Name exactly as printed on Aadhaar
   

3. Authenticate Your Request

Some portals send an OTP to the mobile number linked with Aadhaar.
In cases where OTP is not offered, the request is forwarded to your distributor for manual verification.

4. Submit and Note the Reference

After submitting, save the confirmation or reference number for tracking.

Offline Linking at the LPG Distributor

If the online method doesn’t work, visit your distributor directly.

Carry:
• Aadhaar copy
• LPG consumer booklet
• Your bank details (for subsidy credit)

The distributor may provide a simple Aadhaar-seeding form to fill in your Aadhaar, consumer number and bank details. The staff then updates your records in their system.

Why Linking Aadhaar With Gas Connection Matters

• Ensures your LPG subsidy is transferred to your bank account without delay.
  • Keep your LPG connection verified and active.
• Helps prevent duplicate or fraudulent connections.
  • Makes future service updates quicker.

Tips Before Linking

• Verify that your Aadhaar and LPG records have the same basic details.
  • Keep your Aadhaar-linked mobile number active for OTP-based processes.
  • Check updates from your LPG company on e-KYC requirements.
  • Always use official portals—avoid third-party websites.

Conclusion

Linking your gas connection with Aadhaar is a straightforward process that ensures smooth subsidy transfer and keeps your LPG account authenticated.
