Ujjwala LPG connections are issued in the name of a specific beneficiary. When that person passes away, gets married, or relocates to another district, the connection must be transferred to the new beneficiary or new address. This process involves submitting documents to your LPG distributor, updating Aadhaar seeding in the NPCI mapper, and ensuring the subsidy continues uninterrupted. This guide covers every scenario with exact steps.

Transfer After Death — Legal Heir Process

When the original Ujjwala beneficiary passes away, the LPG connection can be transferred to a legal heir (usually spouse, son, or daughter). This is the most common and most sensitive transfer scenario.

Documents Required for Death Case Transfer

• Death certificate of the original beneficiary (original + self-attested copy).
• Original gas voucher (SV) or subscription voucher.
• Legal heir certificate or NOC from other legal heirs, or an undertaking as per OMC format.
• KYC documents of the new applicant — Aadhaar card, address proof, passport-size photograph.
• Bank account details of the new applicant for DBT subsidy continuation.
• Transfer request letter explaining the relationship and requesting transfer.

Step-by-Step Process

1. Visit the same LPG distributor where the original connection was held.
2. Submit the Unified Transfer/Regularization Form (available at the distributor or online at pmuy.gov.in).
3. Attach all required documents including death certificate and legal heir proof.
4. The distributor verifies the documents and submits the transfer request to the OMC.
5. The new beneficiary's Aadhaar is linked to the connection and seeded with their bank account via NPCI mapper.
6. The transfer is processed within 7-15 working days.
7. A new Subscription Voucher (SV) is issued in the name of the new beneficiary.

Name Change After Marriage

If you got married and changed your surname, you need to update your name in the LPG records. This is a name change, not a transfer to a new person.

Documents Required

• Marriage certificate or affidavit of marriage.
• Updated Aadhaar card with new name (if name already updated in Aadhaar).
• Original gas voucher and gas booklet.
• Name change request letter addressed to the distributor.

Process

1. Submit documents at your LPG distributor.
2. Distributor updates the name in the OMC system.
3. New gas booklet issued with updated name (usually free of cost).
4. Ensure your bank account Aadhaar seeding is also updated if the bank has your old name.

Relocation to Another District or State

If you move to another district within West Bengal or to another state, you need to transfer your Ujjwala connection to a new distributor in your new location.

1. Get a 'No Objection Certificate (NOC)' or transfer voucher from your current distributor.
2. Find your new LPG distributor in your new location through the OMC website or app.
3. Submit the NOC, your gas booklet, identity proof, and new address proof at the new distributor.
4. The new distributor processes the transfer and issues a new connection at your new address.
5. If relocating within the same city, a simple address change request at your current distributor suffices — transfer voucher not needed.

Transfer Within Family (Lifetime Transfer)

Transfer of LPG connection within the family (father, mother, brother, sister, son, daughter, spouse) is permitted even during the lifetime of the original beneficiary. This is called regularization or intra-family transfer.

• The original beneficiary submits written consent for the transfer.
• Both parties submit KYC documents (Aadhaar, address proof, photograph).
• The transfer is processed by the distributor and takes 5-10 working days.
• The new beneficiary's Aadhaar must be seeded with their bank account for subsidy continuation.

Aadhaar De-Seeding and NPCI Mapper Update

When a Ujjwala connection is transferred to a new beneficiary, the old beneficiary's Aadhaar must be de-seeded from the NPCI mapper, and the new beneficiary's Aadhaar must be seeded with their bank account. This is critical for the subsidy to continue without interruption.

1. The distributor handles the Aadhaar de-seeding of the old beneficiary automatically during the transfer process.
2. The new beneficiary must complete eKYC and NPCI Aadhaar seeding for their bank account.
3. This can be done via the NPCI BASE portal (npci.org.in → Consumer → BASE) or by submitting the Aadhaar Seeding Form to their bank.
4. Ensure the new bank account is active and Aadhaar-linked before the transfer is completed.
