Today I visited one Bharat gas distributor to take a new connection whereby he told me that you have to deposit your address proof and id proof along with photographs. The connection charges told to me by the distributor was Rs.3800/- when asked, why taking so much charges they replied that you have to take a hotplate/gas stove which you can chose from the outer counter (Mandatory) along with the connection. I replied that I am already having a hotplate/gas stove and don't required the same they then said that it is mandatory else you will not be able to get the connection. I requested also that I am not in need to buy a Hotplate/gas stove but that doesn't worked out. They always replied in a rude manner that without hotplate/gas stove you cannot buy a connection it is mandatory. Whereas it is clearly mentioned in the website "However, it is not mandatory for you to buy your hotplate from the Distributor"
The reason for writing is to take a necessary action against these types of culprits activities happening in the market in order to maintain a monetary discipline.
