[orc]In a bid to make the LPG distributorship more broad based, participative and transparent, the government has issued new unified guidelines for selection. Among other things, the guidelines talk of 33% reservation for women across all categories.
The Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas (MoPNG) has issued new guidelines for selection of LPG distributorships after a comprehensive review of the existing distributorship selection policies. The objective of the new guidelines is to strengthen the LPG supply chain with focus on rural areas and creating job opportunities through supply chain system.
Major Features of the new guidelines
Following are some of the major features of the new unified guidelines.
- Four broad types of distributorships with varying refill ceiling limits- Sheheri, Rurban, Gramin and Durgam Vitrak.
- Eligibility norms for age, education, fund requirement and ownership of land for godown & showroom have been relaxed to make selection process more participative.
- 33% reservation to women across all categories has been introduced to encourage women entrepreneurship. 3% reservation for Divyang candidates (persons with disability)
- As a part of Government’s Digital India campaign, Online filing, processing and selection has been introduced for Sheheri distributorships on a pilot basis.
- To take care of interest of Defence personnel and their dependents, priority in selection under Government Personnel category has been introduced.
- Monetary norms for security deposit have been relaxed for the selected candidates belonging to SC/ST and OBCs.
- In order to address the issue of last mile reach of LPG in difficult areas, LPG Suvidha Kendra facility will be introduced for improving delivery of services.
- LPG distributorships would be set up in active collaboration with the State Government agencies to strengthen the supply chain in Durgam areas.
Irregularities are found in about 6% of the LPG Distributors
Regular Inspections are carried out by the Field Officers, Anti Adulteration Cell and Vigilance Department of Public Sector Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs) at LPG godowns and showrooms of LPG distributorships to identify irregularities. These regular surprise inspections at conducted at distributor’s premises by way of refill audits, surprise checks at customer’s premises, en-route checking of delivery vehicles etc.
As per data available with the government, more than 30000 inspections have been carried out by the OMCs in each of the years from 2012-13. The percentage of established cases of irregularities (black marketing/ diversion/ overcharging/ underweight/ irregular home delivery of cylinders by LPG distributors) compared to the number of inspections has been increasing in the last two years. From 6.8% in 2012-13, it went down to 4.4% in 2013-14. It then increased to 6.3% in 2014-15 and has further increased to 7.2% in 2015-16 (till October 2015).
The percentage of irregularities in states varied from year to year. In 2012-13, more than 10% irregularities were found in 7 states. This was down to just 3 states in 2013-14. Five states had more than 10% irregularities in 2014-15 and 10 states have more than 10% irregularities in 2015-16 (till October 2015).
In all established cases of irregularities, action is taken against the erring distributors as per provisions of Marketing Discipline Guidelines (MDG) and distributorship agreement.
The government believes that the new unified guidelines will pave the way for a more broad based, participative and transparent system of selection of distributors across the country that will also help arrest irregularities. This year, the OMCs will start the process for selection of new distributors in 10,000 new locations.

Respected sir,
I applied for LPG Distribitorship for the location Village/Kasba “Bhoogor” District Alwar (Rajasthan) advertised at Serial No 29 under ST Category in the common advertisement dated 29.02.2012 issued by all the three Oil Corporations. I submitted the application form on dated 30.03.2012. After satisfied scrutinized of the my appliaction, issued a letter eligible for this SchemeI have successful in draw held on dated 09.08.2013 under rgglv scheme. but during FVC , my candidature was rejected and replied that you are not residence of given location. I have already submitted the Tehasildar, Alwar issued a “STANDARD RESIDENCE CERTIFICATE”(in yellow colour) on dated 21.08.2013 desired by field office. It is mentioned as Sunita Meena W/O Het ram meena, resident Roopbas (Bhoogor), Alwar, Rajasthan. A separate clarifications issued by Tehsildar, Alwar regarding my resedence also submitted to FVC officer. But HPCL not considered it and without any more inquiries or any showcases noticed, they cancelled my candidature vide letter dated 12.09.2013 by Sr. Manager , HPCL, Regional office , Jaipur, Rajasthan.
After this injustice I was knocked door of High Court, Jaipur Bench and notice issued by Hon’ble High Court dt 28.10.2013.
during my proceeding/ apeal and passed stay order by under High court Jaipur Bench, the HPCL issued LOI to Sh Vishram Meena (2nd applicant) vide dated 31.12.2013 without any FVC. While Sh Vishram Meena is not complete the HPCL guide lines, because he is not residence of said location. He is not having any land for this purpose within this location as per HPCL guide lines. He is totally fraud. He purchased land in 2016, which was not considerable.The case is proceeding under High court of Jaipur bench since 28.10.2013.
My requested that pl give me Justice and dismisses the fraud applicant as above. The HPCL already loss of revenue due to wrong/ false report submitted by FVC officer. Here i observed that HPCL officers favour to Sh Vishram Meena (2nd applicant) as you better understood. it is also intimated that FVC officer, had collected false documents against me without any knowledge of me. he HPCL is working against me .
I hope that, you will give me Justice.
