How To Transfer Gas Connection From One Gas Company To Another

Portability is an opportunity for a disgruntled consumer to shift to a dealer of their choosing, within a cluster of Indian Oil, HPC and BPC distributors. Customer's decision to move helps in holding distributors accountable for customer satisfaction and thereby enhancing customer experience.

The consumer has to send their application via the website, which is sent directly into a conversion phase often without the parent distributor's permission. The consumer may consequently complete the paperwork within the stipulated period at the new distributorship. This method removes the need to contact the dealer directly with a request for a transfer.

Intra Company Portability (i.e. transfer from one distributor to another of the same Gas Company)

If you're just trying to change your current distributor and not the gas company, you can do that. You can find a list of distributors on the official website of your gas company that shows the location and rating of the distributor (1 star to 5 stars) based on delivery, refill and customer service. Once the list has been thoroughly checked, you can choose the distributor of your choice.

You can register online for the LPG services after selecting the right distributor. After registration, you will get an automated message confirming your registration and detailing the further steps to be taken in the process.

All you need to do is take a screenshot or print out of your email and visit the new distributor to complete the registration process. After that, this new dealer should fulfil your LPG cylinder orders, and your relationship with the old dealer should come to an end. The equipment, i.e. the cylinder and the pressure regulator, should be transferred or surrendered to the old distributor in order to obtain new equipment from the new distributor.

Inter Company Portability (i.e. transfer of LPG connection from one Gas Company to another)

If you are not happy with your Gas company, you can transfer to one of the other two gas companies. You can do this online too. Before transferring your connection, you need to first surrender your cylinder, regulator or any other equipment with your gas company as it may not be compatible with the equipment of the new gas company.

One can follow the below steps to transfer their LPG connection to another Gas company;

• Visit the site, “mylpg.in”. Consumers will have to register themselves on the site if not registered already.
• Once you are logged in, choose the distributor of your choice from the cluster. 
• See the distributors participating in the cluster and their star ranking in terms of distribution results (5 Star-Excellent, 4 Star-Good, 3 Star-Average, 2 Star-Below Average and 1 Star-Poor)
• The consumer will then receive an email confirming the registration and informing the details of the procedure.
• Since the equipment may not be compatible across companies, consumers will need to visit the existing distributor and surrender the cylinder and pressure regulator, collect the refund / transfer documents and then approach the chosen distributor for reconnection by paying the same deposit as the previous one.
• No transfer fee or extra security deposit will be charged for the shift of your LPG connection under the portability scheme.
• Proactive online tracking of the portability request with escalation matrix and its closing is in place to guarantee that the user does not have any trouble switching to the Gas company of his choosing.

You can contact the customer support helpdesk of the respective gas companies or your distributor for additional information about LPG connection portability.
