This is a high-priority category for us and one of the key drivers towards achieving our goal of digitization of all essential services. We are working to cross the benchmark of 10 million bookings by the end of this financial year."

To make a cylinder booking on Paytm, the user needs to go to 'Book a Cylinder' tab, select gas provider, enter LPG ID/mobile no./consumer no. and then make the payment.

The cylinder is delivered to the registered address by the gas provider's local authorised agency.
