On the screen you may get the message “suspended” or “you have not uploaded all the details”. The department is collecting latest consumer details from the Oil Company. Then this message will disappear. Please bear with us.

16.I am not able to upload the ESCOM bill or LPG bill?

Please check the size of the scanned file and file type. It should be less than 200 KB of pdf or jpeg file type. If the file size is more, you can reduce it with lower resolution of  scanning or folding the electricity bill to show only the top portion.

17.I am not able to get my distributor name in the web-site?

If you have wrongly clicked the oil company name or district name, you may not get the distributor name. So, please check the correctness of the oil company name and district you have selected.  You should select the  district  in which  your distributor’s office is located.

20.What should I do if my LPG connection is being shown as suspended?

If the system says your consumer number is suspended, please see the reason and check the RR  number. If there is no RR  number or  the  RR  number is wrong, you may have to upload the particulars into the web-site for further processing and acceptance  by the department. If the number is not in the ESCOM RR master, then please wait for a few days.  Such cases are taken up with the ESCOMs

21.Why my LPG connection is being shown as “under verification”?

Such a thing happens if the same electricity RR number is given with more than one LPG consumer number. If not yourself, some one else might have given your RR number intentionally or unintentionally. If it is due to some one else R.R. Number being wrongly entered, then the note will automatically disappear when the other consumer’s R.R number is set right. Remaining cases will be inspected and verified by the department
inspector.  If found lawful the multiple claims will be accepted. Otherwise unlawful connections will be cancelled.
22.What should I do if my LPG connection is being shown as under verification?
You need not have to worry if the electricity RR  number  shown is correct. The department officer will inspect the premises and process such cases. Please check your status after a few days.

Not to worry. The uploaded particulars are being checked for correction on the system by the department officials.  If found correct, the same will be  accepted.

Yes you can visit the nearest office of a Deputy Director of Food and Civil Supplies or the Taluk office and submit your documents and collect an acknowledgement.

    Hi,
    Thanks for your kind reply. Can you tell me which document I need to submit? Will electricity bill's RR number will alone do?
    I checked the online RR submission form and found there are fields for Ration Card number also!!
    If I don't put the Ration Card number, will it be ok?

    Hello
    I have submitted the details both online and physically also to the concerned agency. Now I am getting the following message in the website.

    The Electr. RR No for the LPG Connection is under verification as more than one LPG
    Connection is linked with this RR Number.

    My inderstanding is that because I have submitted the same details twice(physically and through website), it has considered two LPG connections(both are in my name and having same consumer number)for the same RR number.

    Please give your sound advise regarding this

    Hi,
    Gas geysers are more economical than electrical geysers. Also power cuts do not affect them. However an extra gas connection is required since it is not

    possible to use a common gas pipe between the geyser and the stove when the kitchen and bathroom are far away. Also one cannot use one cylinder each for the

    stove and geyser separately. Then when any cylinder is over, we will have a problem until the next delivery takes place. Hence, the dealers themselves

    suggested that buyers can take additional connection for their gas geyser. There are a few thousand such genuine domestic users. Unfortunately, now they have

    two connections in the same name, address and RR No. In most cases one connection is suspended. If the connection is terminated, these gas geysers will

    become a costly waste. Commercial gas is too costly and uneconomical. Further, we will have to repalce them with costly electrical or solar geysers. Please

    suggest how to solve this problem. Whom should we contact?

    Right now i have 2 gas cylinders from Bharath Gas. I need one more cylinder as the number of family members have increased in my house and we constantly run out of gas before the empty cylinder is refilled. Can I get one more cylinder from the same gas dealers or should i apply for a new connection from another dealer?

    When we shifted in the year 2010 from Koppa to mangalore we got our Indane gas connection transferred to the new address by providing rental agreement copy. Now the owner is creating a problem that how did we take the connection without her consent as she wants to take a new connection? How is this possible? We changed so many houses never had this kind of problem from any owners. What should we do?

    There is a requirement of a electricity bill copy for recongnizing the multiple connection in same house. If you are staying in rented house you can use your house electricity bill and owner can use their house electricity bill to avail the connection
