Consumers start getting SMS for declaring annual income
Posted on: 19/Feb/2016 10:06:02 AM
SMS`s are being sent by public sector oil marketing companies to domestic LPG consumers in the State asking them to declare their annual income.
A consumer is entitled to 12 cylinders of 14.2 kg each in a year at subsidized rate. The consumers whose income is more than Rs 10 lakh per annum will have to pay the market price.
The declaration, however, is voluntary for the time being.
The SMS`s from oil companies - IOC, HPC and BPC - read: If your/spouse income is above 10 lakhs, LPG subsidy is not admissible as per govt directive. If so PL submit a declaration to your distributor or at www.mylpg.in.
Oil companies will send voice messages to consumers who book LPG refill through the Interactive Voice Record System from March 1. Besides, the consumers can also declare their income by filling a form that will be made available at the distributor`s office.
