How to Transfer Your Gas Connection When Moving
PWBy Packerwala Editorial TeamUpdated 22 June 2026 5 min read
Your LPG gas connection needs a little paperwork when you move. Handling it early avoids being without gas at your new home.
Moving within the same city
- If you're staying with the same distributor, just update your address — carry your consumer number, ID and new address proof.
- If the area falls under a different distributor of the same company, request a transfer at your current agency.
Moving to another city
- Surrender your connection at the current distributor and collect a Termination Voucher / Subscription Voucher (SV).
- At your new city, take the SV, ID and address proof to a distributor of the same company to get a new connection.
- Keep the SV safe — it carries your security-deposit value.
Safety on move day
Never load a full LPG cylinder into a packed goods truck — it's unsafe and most movers won't carry it. Get the cylinder collected/surrendered separately. On Packerwala, tell your mover in advance so nothing hazardous goes into the load.
