LPG Gas Cylinder Booking Rule Of 45-Days & 25 Days:

Among many measures, the government has revised the rules of booking gas cylinders by extending the lock-in periods for refill. And these are 45 days and 25 days, irrespective of LPG connection. So it means, even if you have a 14.2 kg cylinder connection or 5 kg cylinder connection, the lock-in period remains 25 days in urban areas and 45 days for rural consumers.

Earlier, the lock-in period was of 21-days before March 2026 for refilling LPGs.
