Way back in 2003, Hindustan Petroleum Corp Ltd on Thursday announced a Rs 15 lakh insurance scheme for its domestic cooking gas (LPG) users to cover for loss of life and injuries due to an accident with an LPG cylinder.
Over the years, the amount has increased to Rs40lacs/-. The dealers have to pay the premium to the insurance companies.
However, due to NIL awareness levels, no claims are lodged against Domestic LPG explosions.
According to IOC Ltd Citizen Charter, the IOC distributor will offer assistance to the consumer in completing the formalities of insurance claims arising out of the accident.
HPCL website states all registered HP GAS consumers (having valid SV) are insured against outcome of an accident at their registered premises due to LPG. Details are available with all the distributors and Customer Service Cell In addition, HPCL has also taken a PublicLiability Insurance Policy.

02)Use only Original accessories which are ISI approved.
03)Request your dealer to do the maintenance check every year.
04)Preserve the maintenance check receipt.

The staff at the gas agency never informed me,” said Amit Agarwal, a chartered accountant who recently got a gas connection.
