How to Claim LPG Insurance Without Hurdles—With Help from Vistarana Info
Accidents caused by LPG cylinders are tragic—but what’s even more unfortunate is that many victims don’t know they’re entitled to insurance compensation. Thanks to the Central Government’s Ujjwala scheme, LPG cylinders now reach every corner of India. But with increased usage comes increased risk. Between 2018 and 2023, over 4,000 LPG-related accidents were reported nationwide.
🔍 What Is LPG Insurance?
Every registered LPG consumer—whether with Bharat Gas, HP Gas, or Indane—is automatically covered under a Public Liability Insurance Policy taken by Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs). No premium is required from the consumer.
Coverage Includes:
Type of Compensation | Amount |
Death (per person) | ₹6 lakh |
Medical expenses | ₹2 lakh per person (₹30 lakh per event) |
Property damage | ₹2 lakh per event |
Immediate relief | ₹25,000 per person |
