LPG Cylinder New Rules: If you have taken two cylinders in a month, you will not get the third cylinder. This means that excessive consumption of LPG during festivals or weddings at home can land you in trouble. For the third cylinder, you may have to reach out to your neighbor or get a black cylinder from the market. In March, many consumers became upset when they received a message not to book the third cylinder. Now preparations for getting a second connection have started in many houses.
Oil companies had already fixed the quota of LPG cylinders. Only 12 non-subsidized LPG cylinders can be purchased in a year. That means only 12 cylinders will be available in 12 months. If more cylinders are required than this, the oil companies have made a provision to provide three more cylinders, but the consumer will not get subsidy in exchange for these cylinders.
Only 15 cylinders will be available in the entire year. Oil companies have decided that only 213 kg of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) will be available in the entire year.
District Nodal Officer of Indian Oil, Kumar Gaurav said that this arrangement has been made to prevent commercial use of domestic gas cylinders. If the consumption in the house is high then another connection will have to be taken.
If your family is large then you are forced to take two connections.
In houses where more members live together, it is common to consume two cylinders of LPG every month. LPG consumption further increases during festivals or marriages. Now, with the provision of two cylinders in a month, such families will have to take at least two connections. You will have to spend extra money to get the connection.
Manjeet Srivastava of Golghar said that there are 24 members in my family. Two LPG cylinders are required every month. Consumption increases during festivals. I may not get a subsidized cylinder, but I should definitely get a cylinder as per my need. There should be a change in this system.
Naushad resident Shailesh Sahni said that LPG cylinder is in every house. Subsidy is also available only at Rs 59.05. Instead of giving such a low subsidy, it is better to ban this too. There should be such a system that everyone can easily get as many cylinders as they need.
