Hindustan Petroleum Corporation [HPCL] — mandatory inspection of hpcl domestic gas connections

Hpcl has started inspection of domestic gas connections without prior intimation from either the government nor the company. An inspection person randomly turns up to the door and charges rs236/- (As per their calculation) for an "inspection" which includes no formal report, just a text message sent later saying - "inspection is completed and not satisfactory".
This is another way of spinning money from consumers. The inspection should be at the cost of the company and not the consumers.
