Pre-process requirements

- If you have a Government Gas connection already in some place then you can transfer it to
- Bangalore by getting a Surrender Certificate from the place where you already have connection.

Process of booking a gas cylinder
- Contact an LPG distributor to book your cylinder.
- The LPG connection will be released to you immediately. However before the release of an LPG connection, you should be in possession of an ISI mark Hotplate/ gas stove and a rubber, so that after release of your LPG connection, it may be installed at your residence immediately.
