State-run oil marketing company-- Indian Oil Corporation (IOC) -- was supposed to block 4.7 lakh LPG consumer connections on January 1, 2013. Having undertaken massive national drive under Know Your Customer (KYC), the company has identified 70,000 connections which are held by customers under ‘different customers same address’ (DCSA) and have blocked the connection of unidentified customers. However, the company has also decided to let go off the connections for those customers who have not asked for refill of LPG cylinder for more than a year.
Under the KYC drive, customers have to provide proof of identity and proof of residence along with bank details to dealers of LPG, with the last day of filing KYC details being December 31. Further, the numbers of connection that could be blocked is expected to soar as other two oil marketing companies, Hindustan Petroleum Corporation (HPCL) and Bharat Petroleum Corporation (BPCL), are also carrying out KYC drive.
Back in September, the Central government took the decision to restrict the number of subsidized cylinders per connection holder to six in a year, to avoid slippage of subsidy burden on state exchequer.
