Get cooking LPG subsidy amount deposited directly to Consumer bank account. The “Inprocess” status booking is your last booking that you have done online which will get processed by your distributor within few days.
If you are exceeding the limits like monthly bookings, yearly bookings etc which was decided by the distributor to ensure delivery of LPG cylinder to all the consumers or double booking, then they may reject your booking which is under “Inprocess” now. In such cases we need to book the LPG cylinder once again to get it processed.
