Imphal, November 14 2015 :
Referring to a news report about one L Bina Devi (consumer no.05283) receiving 22 LPG refills this year, MM Gas, RIMS Road has clarified that only two refills were issued to L Bina although subsidy amounts which got transferred to her bank account were those of 22 refills.
This goof-up was a result of changes in 'computerised system' and the same problem occurs with other distri- butors too, according to a press release issued by the LPG agency.
The agency maintained that they never issued 22 refills to L Bina nor did they siphon off any refill.
As for other consumers who got subsidies for 12, 11, 10 refills etc, some additional LPG refills were issued under pressure as they came along with letterheads.
There is no question of giving privilege to any consumer.
Refills are being distributed in accordance to the dates of booking.
Documents of more than 10,000 consumers related to re-registration of existing names under new names are pending at the agency.
As these consumers have no DBTL link, IOC no longer provides subsidized refills for them.
Nonetheless, they have been taking refills from MM Gas by exerting immense pressure, it informed.
It further informed all its consumers to link up their consumer numbers with Aadhar numbers by December 31 this year.
