There's some good news for LPG cylinder consumers. The e-KYC deadline has been extended to August 23rd. Previously, the deadline for KYC was August 16th. According to a report in the Times of India, this additional time has been granted due to issues with the app, among other reasons.
According to media reports,
long lines were being seen at LPG agencies as the deadline approached. While there's some relief for now, there's not much time left until the new deadline of August 23rd. Therefore, this process is likely to be a hot topic for customers in the coming days.
What was the reason?
The process was taking time to complete due to slow servers, which was increasing congestion. Furthermore, the app's response was also poor. Oil marketing companies are looking to update all consumer information through e-KYC to prevent black marketing.
