LPG Complaint

LPG complaints — short-weight cylinders, delivery delays, missing subsidy, or a rude/absent delivery agent — can first be raised with your distributor and then escalated to the oil marketing company or the national LPG helpline 1906.

What Is It

A complaint against your LPG distributor or oil marketing company for short weight, delayed booking-to-delivery, missing DBTL subsidy, or unsafe/faulty cylinder equipment.

When To Use It

Use this when a delivered cylinder is underweight, delivery is unreasonably delayed, subsidy hasn't been credited despite a completed booking, or the delivery agent misbehaves.

Step-by-Step Process

  1. 1Weigh the cylinder in front of the delivery agent and note the discrepancy immediately if underweight.
  2. 2Raise a complaint with your distributor first (in person or via the oil company's app).
  3. 3If unresolved, call the LPG Emergency Helpline (1906) or your oil company's customer care number.
  4. 4File online via mylpg.in selecting your oil company (Indane/Bharat Gas/HP Gas) and complaint category.
  5. 5For missing subsidy, check your bank-linked Aadhaar seeding status, as this is the most common cause.

Documents Required

  • LPG consumer number/subscription voucher
  • Cylinder weight photo (if underweight)
  • Delivery receipt
  • Aadhaar-linked bank account details for subsidy issues

Fees

Free to file with the distributor, oil company, or the 1906 helpline.

Processing Time

Distributor-level complaints are typically resolved within 3–7 days; subsidy crediting issues may take up to a billing cycle to correct.

Important Tips

  • Always ask the delivery agent to weigh the cylinder in front of you before accepting it.
  • Keep your Aadhaar seeded correctly with your LPG consumer number and bank account for uninterrupted subsidy.
  • Report a gas leak smell immediately using the emergency helpline — safety complaints should never wait.
