Step-by-step guide to pay your gas bill online

A gas connection is extremely important for a household. Nothing matches a home-cooked fresh and hot meal. For that purpose, you need a functional gas connection at your home. Up until recently, most of the households in India preferred LPG cylinders to light their stove. But over time, the Government is working with various state authorities to introduce a piped gas connection or PNG connections at various apartment complexes.

The question here arises, how does the payment system for PNG work? One needs to be clear on this as to never default on any gas bill and attract penalty fees.

Read on to know how to make gas bill payment online using a super app built for recharges and utility bill payment.

How Piped gas connection works?

Piped gas connection works like other underground connections of water, sewage, power, or telephone. Pipelines dedicated to transporting gas are laid all over a city or a certain area connecting each place.

A main gas pipeline is distributed into several smaller pipelines, all carrying gas to your home. On the other hand, with piped gas, there won’t be any need of cylinders.

How can you pay piped gas bill online?

If you are a piped gas user, we are sure a lot of you must be confused as to how to pay gas bill online.

LPG users usually book a new cylinder as per their need. It can be booked online and offline. The payment can be made upon delivery. A cash memo is provided by the delivery executive.

However, when it comes to a piped gas connection, the process is quite different.

Now that you have gas available at the turn of a knob, your monthly bill will be determined by your usage. A normal LPG cylinder of 14.2 Kg in a functioning household works for at least 1.5 month. If your rate of consumption remains the same, piped gas bill will be charged similarly as per its own rate.

It is definitely a postpaid service for its users whereas LPG is a prepaid service.

Hence, piped gas bill payment is similar to that of a postpaid phone bill or an electricity bill.

Therefore, the easiest way for pipe gas bill payment is by using the Airtel Thanks app.
