Are you shifting your residence? Here’s how you can transfer your LPG connection at new address

Gone are the days where you had to stand in queues to fill your LPG form. Now, in just a few clicks, you can actually apply for cooking gas. New LPG Connections are now available on demand across the country. If you do not have a LPG connection, then you can visit nearest Indane distributor serving in your area and register for the connection with a valid proof of identity and residence. However, what happens when you decide to shift from your current residence? This would mean a whole different LPG connection with new address and new documents. It can be bit tiring to do this process, as you have to search new distributor near your area and then begin the application process again. But, there is no need to worry as Indian Oil on its website has mentioned a step-by-step guide which you can follow when you shift your residence. 

If you are shifting within same distributor’s area of operation:

- Advise your distributor your new address with supporting proof of residence so that he effects the change in his records and your future supplies shall then be sent to your new place of residence.

If you are shifting in the same town:

- In case your present distributor does not service your new place of residence, you may approach your Indane distributor with your original Subscription Voucher (SV). The distributor shall prepare a transfer termination voucher (TTV) for the place of your new residence. 

You can then approach the nearest Indane Distributor serving your new place of residence along with proof of residence, TTV and DGCC booklet (Domestic gas consumer card) The distributor shall prepare a Transfer Subscription voucher (TSV) against your TTV and shall provide you a new consumer number. These details will be updated in your DGCC booklet, (Domestic gas consumer card).

In this case of a shift of residence within the same town you are not required to surrender your equipment. Hence you need to carry your Indane domestic cylinder and pressure regulator to your new residence.

If you are shifting out of town:

- You are then required to surrender your Indane equipment viz. cylinder and pressure regulator to your Indane distributor. In this case,  you can approach your Indane distributor with your Subscription Voucher (SV) or Transfer Subscription Voucher (TSV) as the case may be & Domestic Gas Consumer Card (DGCC) along-with your Cylinder/s and Pressure Regulator. 

In turn, the distributor will prepare a Termination Voucher (TV) in your name for your new place and refund the deposit held against the Cylinder/s and Regulator. 

Upon your request, the distributor will arrange to collect Indane equipment from your premises, subject to payment of applicable charges. 

Additionally, you will also be guided to the nearest Indane distributor for future service. At the new place you can approach the nearest Indane distributor for resuming your Indane supplies.

Thereby, if you are making a shift in your residence, then first check with your distributor if they service LPG cylinders in the area where you are moving in. However, if you have transferred from out of town, then you remember to follow the above mentioned pointers.
