Key Questions Answered
The Uttar Pradesh government has made Aadhaar verification mandatory for subsidized gas cylinders effective October 1, 2026, though consumers without verification will still receive cylinders without the subsidy.
Consumers can complete their biometric Aadhaar verification from home using oil marketing company apps such as IndianOil ONE for Indane, HelloBPCL for Bharatgas, and HP PAY for HP Gas.
While thousands of consumers in Sambhal still need to complete the process—such as 1,500 users at the Sambhal Bharat Gas Agency—failing to verify means consumers will still get their cylinders but will forfeit the subsidy.
