LPG distribution: More startling anomalies detected
Source: The Sangai Express
Imphal, November 10 2015:
Along with detection of another consumer who has received 13 LPG refills this year, two refills have been taken in the name of a consumer who has been awaiting arrival of his due date after booking a refill on October 1 this year.
The consumer who has received one more refill than the total number of subsidized LPG refills entitled to a consumer in a year bears consumer number 2622.He is a consumer of an LPG distributor located in Imphal East.
The total subsidy amount of Rs 3599.82 has been already transferred to his bank account.
Another consumer of the same distributor bearing consumer number CX28568200 booked for a refill on October 1 this year and he was awaiting distribution of refills.
In the meantime, subsidy for one refill was transferred to his bank account.
The consumer was given his blue book on September 12 this year.
On the same day, subsidy amount of Rs 266 was transferred to his bank account though he did not take any refill.
Either there are some serious loopholes or some elements have been twisting and manipulating the whole LPG distribution system for their own benefits at the cost of the vast majority of the consumers, said some aggrieved consumers.
It remains a big question from where all those LPG refills now sold in the black got leaked.
The LPG distributor issued 13 refills to the particular consumer starting with two refills in April, two in May, three in June, three in July, two in August and one in September.
The same distributor issued 12 refills to another consumer bearing registration no CX15637083, 10 refills to a third consumer (CXI 2378787).Corresponding subsidy amounts have also entered their respective bank accounts.
The distributor located in Imphal East issued nine re-fills each to two consumers bearing consumer numbers 134643 and 4500.But there was a variance in the subsidy amounts transferred to their respective bank accounts.
While the former got Rs 2664.80, Rs 2690.26 was entered in the bank account of the latter.
Although, consumers bearing consumer numbers 2501, 2506, 2503, 2507, 2509, 2526, 2527, 2528, 2530 and 2531 have availed nine refills each, subsidy amounts are yet to reach their respective bank accounts.
Perhaps, the subsidy amounts have not been transferred to their respective bank accounts because they have not been registered under DBTL scheme even though they are active consumers of the particular LPG distributor.
