Read this with itThe FAQ is HP Gas-specific and does not establish the route for Bharatgas or Indane.
IndianOil's current public FAQ describes three Indane branches: same distributor area uses new-address proof for a record change; same-town transfer uses SV, TTV, DGCC and TSV without equipment surrender; out-of-town transfer uses SV/TSV and DGCC with equipment surrender for a TV and later reconnection.

Block two
Two kinds of thing sit here: questions the published record leaves open, and points where our own reading stopped — at a login we did not cross, or a step we could not observe without applying. Each item says which it is. Both are reasons to ask before you apply rather than after.
No public workflow review establishes the current OMC/distributor for a Bengaluru address, current fee/security deposit, inter-town route, accepted proof variants, or approval/timing for a real connection.
What we checkedNo login, OTP, lookup, upload, payment or submission.
The citizen accounts do not establish the current OMC-specific transfer route, service-area determination, accepted proof variants, charge, timing, or delivery result for a Bengaluru connection.
What we checkedThe available accounts are historical and case-specific; no login, transfer, lookup, payment, or personal data was used in this pass.
The reviewed official material does not establish the current OMC/distributor assigned to a particular Bengaluru address, whether that address is inside a chosen distributor's service area or portability cluster, the accepted proof variant for a case, a current transfer fee/security amount for every branch, or approval/timing for a supplied connection.
What we checkedNo login, OTP, distributor lookup, upload, payment, equipment handoff or submission was performed.
This public pass does not establish the current OMC, assigned Bengaluru distributor, service-area match, accepted proof variant, account-specific eligibility, fee other than Bharatgas's portability statement, processing status, approval, consumer-number change or delivery result for any real connection.
What we checkedThe reviewed official routes stop at public guidance, selectors, forms or authenticated boundaries. No login, OTP, lookup, upload, payment or submission occurred.
No reviewed official public source establishes the current Bengaluru OMC/distributor for a supplied address, current transfer fee/security amount, accepted proof variants, inter-town route, processing status, or whether a particular transfer will be approved.
What we checkedNo login, OTP, connection number, distributor lookup, upload, payment, or submission was performed.

No request number, voucher, consumer number, account update, payment, approval, delivery or complaint result exists in this pass.
