📢 Kya Hai Naye LPG Rules 2026?

Government ne LPG distribution system ko improve karne ke liye 2 major changes kiye hain:

✅ 1. OTP Verification Mandatory

Ab gas cylinder delivery ke time OTP verification zaroori hoga

✅ 2. Refill Gap Increase

Cylinder refill karne ke beech ka time ab:

• Urban areas: 25 din
• Rural areas: 45 din

🔐 OTP Verification Kaise Kaam Karega?

Ab jab bhi aap gas cylinder book karoge:

1. Aapke registered mobile number par OTP aayega
2. Delivery boy cylinder dene se pehle OTP mangega
3. OTP verify hone ke baad hi delivery complete hogi

👉 Iska fayda:

• Fake delivery band hogi
• Sahi customer tak cylinder pahunchega
• Black marketing control hogi

🏙️ Urban Areas (Cities) – 25 Days Rule

Shehri (urban) areas me log ab 25 din ke baad hi cylinder dobara book kar sakte hain.

✔ Kyu 25 din?

👉 Isliye yahan short gap maintain kiya gaya hai

🌾 Rural Areas (Villages) – 45 Days Rule

Gaon aur rural areas me ab cylinder booking ke liye 45 din ka gap mandatory hai.

✔ Kyu 45 din?

👉 Yeh rule fair distribution ke liye lagaya gaya hai
