Documents Required For LPG Connection Transfer

Before initiating the transfer process, make sure you have your identity proof, new address details, and existing gas connection documents handy:

  • Address Proof (New Location): Rent agreement, recent electricity bill, water bill, or updated Passport.
  • Original Connection Documents: Gas Passbook/Consumer Book, Original Subscription Voucher (SV), and Domestic Gas Consumer Card (DGCC Blue Book).
  • Photographs: 2 to 4 recent passport-size photographs.
  • Bank Account Details: Copy of your bank passbook (required for subsidy transfers or deposit refunds).

To start the transfer, you must first return equipment and close your account with your current gas agency:

  • Return Equipment: Submit the gas cylinder and regulator to your current gas agency.
  • Submit Documents: Submit your original Subscription Voucher (SV) and Domestic Gas Consumer Card.
  • Receive Termination Voucher (TV): After verifying your equipment and documents, the agency will issue a Termination Voucher along with a refund of your initial security deposit as per the norms.
