If you wish to get a gas connection for the house, you have two choices. The first choice to approach one of the public agencies like Hindustan Petroleum, Indane, Bharat Gas, etc. The second option is to go to private distributors. The main advantage of the public gas agencies is that, since the government partly owns them their prices are highly subsidized too, so, a gas cylinder purchased from HP would cost a lot less than a gas cylinder purchased from a private company.
The public agencies also have the advantage of well-formed service networks that allow their customers to transfer connections from one place to another within the country. But, before you start booking gas cylinders through these providers, certain formalities must be completed by the applicant. One of these formalities is providing the KYC (Know Your Customer) details.
There is a minimal variation in the KYC form for all gas connections. The purpose of the KYC form is to collect information about the customer to verify it and figure out whether the applicant is eligible for the services.
The following information are required to be provided in the form:
Personal details including your name, photographs, age and the names of your closest relatives.
Contact details like your residential address, phone numbers and email addresses.
It also tallies the documents provided by the applicant and the information provided by him/her on the form.

This scheme aims at helping the households that are very poor and cannot gain access to clean cooking gas. KYC form used for this scheme is different even if it collects similar information about the applicant concerned. In the case, the form asks the applicant to for details of the members of the family. This form also collects information about the cylinder that the applicants want to purchase and whether they want a stove or not. The documents and procedures will remain the same.
