Customers to get discount for online payment of LPG refill

New Delhi: Oil marketing companies have decided to offer an upfront discount of Rs 5 on every LPG refill to all LPG customers who will book and pay for their LPG cylinders online.

Customers can make payment through existing online modes-net banking, credit and debit cards at the time of web-booking their refills, said a release on Tuesday.

Customers will get the discounted amount displayed on their screens. The net discounted amount will also be shown on the cash memo accompanying the home-delivery of the LPG cylinder, it added.

Under the aegis of Ministry of Petroleum & Natural Gas, the endeavor of all oil marketing companies aims to encourage consumers to increasingly shift to such payment modes through digital platforms to achieve the objective of no-cash or less cash-based transactions.

The incentive will encourage more and more LPG consumers to go for cashless mode transactions, the release said.
