General information on LPG service

As all is well aware that this Corporation has been pioneer LPG distributor and uninterruptedly catering the requirement of domestic LPG cylinders for more than three decades in the State to the consumers under its subscription. However, in the recent years, new LPG distributors were appointed by M/s. IOCL with explicit demarcation of their areas of operation for the convenience of the consumers residing in various district and remote corners. It is pertinent to mention here that such consumers originally subscribed with this Corporation continued to get their normal refilling through STCS BLUE-BOOK from their new distributors till the imposition of the ceiling on subsidized cylinders by the Petroleum Ministry, Governmentof India.
Consequently, this imposition makes it mandatory that all the distributors maintain proper record of the consumers of the release of subsidized / non-subsidized domestic cylinders and its consumers thereby making it mandatory that such consumers also must get their documents transferred to continue avail normal LPG service with their respective new distributors who have now restricted releasing any further cylinders to such consumers who have still not transferred their connections.
It is at this backdrop, we once again appeal all such consumers to get their connections transferred with their new distributors to continue avail uninterrupted LPG service. For transferring their connection, consumers are required to submit their present BLUE-BOOK & SVR (Subscription Voucher Receipt) in case of lost of the same, Indemnity bond is to be submitted which is available in the STCS office. In case of non-availability of all these documents, consumers are required to lodge FIR with the nearest police station and submit an affidavit to that effect from competent oath commissioner. For the convenience of the consumers, service of an oath commissioner has been made available at the STCS office. Consumers falling under the below mentioned area which are our area of operation continues to remain our consumers and are therefore not required to get their connections transferred.
1.   North District:    Bhojoghari and upward-Entire North District
2.   East District:    Lumsay-Syari-Deorali-Pani House-Tenzing & Tenzing-Lall Bajar
3.   West District:    Entire West District and Jorethang.
In the meantime, we assure such consumers that there is no reason to panic or for any confusion as the Government is exercising every possible initiatives to ensure sufficient and uninterrupted availability of the cylinders for their convenience. Please pay no heed to any kind of rumors and for any queries, this office may be contacted any time. This Corporation with the active participation and exercise of the Department of Food & Civil Supplies, Government of Sikkim has for the time being made arrangement to provide cylinders to such consumers who have still not transferred their connections at subsidized price. Such consumer shall collect cylinder from STCS Godown at 5th Mile, Tadong and Baiguney, West Sikkim. This may also be noted here that no cylinders shall be issued without producing BLUE-BOOK.
Importantly, we once again request the affected consumers to kindly get their connections transferred with their respective new distributors at the earliest to continue avail normal LPG services. It is mandatory that consumers must transfer their connections with their respective new distributors to avoid any disturbances or hindrances in availing normal LPG services in future.
