After you have located the gas agency nearest to your house, you would need to go visit their office with a proof of your residence and an identity proof. Any government issued document can work as your address/identity proof. Your Passport, your driving license, ration card or even your landline telephone bill should be okay.

Once you have registered with the agency they will allocate a new gas connection booking number, which you will require while following up with the gas agency, if ever the need be.

Getting a new connection should cost you approximately, Rs. 3050/-

• Rs 850 towards the deposit for each metal cylinder (you can get up to two)
• Rs 100 for the regulator
• Rs 1600 for the gas stove (it is a mandate for you to buy this stove, without which the agencies will not give you a connection)
• Rs 300 the refill cost of the first cylinder
• Rs 170 towards the safety kit that comprises the gas tube
• Rs 25 - 50 for administration and installation charges (whether or not they come to install it at your place)
