(1) No person having a Piped Natural Gas (PNG) connection and also having domestic LPG connection shall retain a domestic LPG connection, or take refills of domestic LPG cylinders from any Government oil company, or through their distributors. Such persons will be required to immediately surrender their domestic LPG connection.

(2) No person having a Piped Natural Gas connection, shall obtain a domestic LPG connection, or take refills of domestic LPG cylinders from any Government oil company, or through their distributors.

Further, the amendment also prohibits Oil Companies from providing a domestic Liquefied Petroleum Gas connection, and/or supplying domestic Liquefied Petroleum Gas cylinder refills to a consumer who already owns a Piped Natural Gas connection.
