Domestic LPG consumers must complete Biometric Aadhaar Authentication for subsidised cylinder refills. This authentication process is mandatory from October 1, 2026, for all eligible users. Consumers who have already completed the process need no further action from their end. Those who do not authenticate will receive cylinders at market prices without any subsidy. Assistance for this process is available through various digital channels and a toll-free helpline.
