Step by Step Guide to Transfer Gas Connection Online and Offline

Transferring your LPG gas connection can seem confusing, but it’s actually quite simple when you follow the right steps. Whether you’ve moved to a new home, changed your distributor, or need your gas connection in someone else’s name, this guide explains the process in detail with a practical example.


Why You Might Need to Transfer Your Gas Connection

  • Moving to a new house
  • Changing distributor or LPG company
  • Name change due to marriage or ownership transfer
  • Linking subsidy to a new bank account

Example:
Ramesh recently moved from Pune to Nagpur. He needed his LPG connection to be transferred to his new address without losing the subsidy. Using the steps below, he completed the transfer in just 10 days.


Step 1: Collect Required Documents

To transfer a gas connection, you usually need:

  • ID Proof: Aadhaar card, PAN card, or Voter ID
  • Address Proof: Ration card, electricity bill, or rental agreement
  • Current Gas Connection Details: Customer ID and LPG number
  • Bank Account Details (for subsidy transfer)
  • No Objection Certificate (if needed) from previous owner

Example: Ramesh collected his Aadhaar, electricity bill, and LPG ID before visiting the distributor.


Step 2: Visit Your Distributor or MyLPG Portal

You can transfer offline at your local distributor or online via the MyLPG portal.

  • Offline: Submit documents in person
  • Online: Fill the transfer request form, upload documents, and submit

Example: Ramesh submitted his transfer form online, uploaded scanned ID and address proof, and got a reference number.


Step 3: Fill the Transfer Form

  • Provide existing customer details
  • Enter new owner’s name or new address
  • Add bank account information for subsidy
  • Review and submit

Pro Tip: Double-check names and numbers — errors can delay approval.


Step 4: Verification by Distributor

The distributor verifies:

  • Identity of both old and new owners
  • Documents are correct and valid
  • Current connection is active

Example: The Nagpur distributor called Ramesh to confirm his details and address. Verification usually takes 3–7 days.


Step 5: New Connection Activation

After verification:

  • Your connection is officially transferred
  • Bank account for subsidy is updated
  • You can now book cylinders under the new connection

Example: Ramesh received SMS confirmation that the connection is transferred. He booked his first cylinder from the new address without any hassle.
