LPG Cylinder Delivery Update: Indane, HPCL, and Bharat Gas Implement DAC Code System The delivery of LPG cylinders from Indane, HPCL, and Bharat Gas has undergone a significant change, with the introduction of a 100% Delivery Authentication Code (DAC) system. This shift aims to enhance security and prevent fraudulent activities, as fake DAC codes have been exploited by cybercriminals to deceive consumers. The updated process ensures that each cylinder is tracked through a secure digital system, minimizing the risk of misdelivery or unauthorized access. Key stakeholders, including the companies and consumers, have been advised to remain vigilant against scams. HPCL has issued guidelines on social media platforms, emphasizing that genuine messages from the company will originate from verified sender IDs such as "VM-HPGASc-S." These messages will include a 4-digit OTP (One-Time Password) valid only during the delivery process. Consumers are warned not to share OTPs or DAC codes before the delivery boy arrives at their doorstep. Additionally, HPCL cautions against responding to unsolicited calls, WhatsApp messages, or suspicious links, as these are common tactics used by scammers. Indane has provided similar instructions, urging users to verify the authenticity of messages by checking the sender ID (e.g., "VK-INDANE" or "VM-INDANE") and ensuring the presence of a booking or invoice number. The company also highlights that DAC codes are exclusively shared with delivery personnel and should never be disclosed to others. Experts warn that fake DAC codes can lead to financial losses, as scammers may use them to access accounts or demand payments under false pretenses. The implementation of the DAC system has also prompted updates on current LPG cylinder prices across various cities.#hpcl #indane #bharat_gas #dac_code_system #lpg_cylinder_delivery
