Your gas connection is linked to KYC and subsidy. Here's how name corrections work.
An LPG / domestic gas connection is held in a consumer's name and is linked, through the distributor and oil company, to KYC and any subsidy. A name that differs from your Aadhaar or bank can affect subsidy transfer and verification.
A minor correction is usually handled by the distributor with a supporting document. A genuine name change β or a transfer of the connection name β is often supported by recognised proof such as a Gujarat Gazette.
Where a name change underlies the update, we prepare the Gazette and documentation and guide how it aligns with your Aadhaar and bank. See our marriage name change and spelling correction services. The distributor / oil company decides the update under its rules.
Tell us your situation and we'll guide you on the right documentation β including whether a Gazette is even needed.

An LPG connection matters beyond the cylinder: it is tied to the DBTL subsidy paid into a bank account and to Aadhaar-based KYC. When the name on the gas connection does not match the bank account or the Aadhaar it is linked to, the subsidy can stop reaching you, and a KYC refresh can bounce β a small mismatch with a monthly, visible consequence.
The name on a connection is updated by your distributor, under the oil-marketing company's process. Two situations are common. A transfer of the connection β for example into a spouse's name after marriage, or to a family member β follows the distributor's transfer procedure. A change or correction of your own name is supported by recognised proof; for a formal change, a Gazette establishes it so the connection, the linked bank account and Aadhaar all agree and the subsidy flows correctly.
The practical test is whether the three names β gas connection, bank account receiving the subsidy, and Aadhaar β line up. If a subsidy has stopped, a name mismatch among those three is the first thing to check.
