[Resolved]  Hp Gas — Procedures from agents

To get a gas connection transferred to my name from my late father's name, I have to do the following visits: 1. Visit Dealer who will insist on a Consumer number before they can print out a "format" of the affidavit. 2. Buy Stamp paper of Rs.100 3. Go to some typing guy to get it types. 4. Go to Notary public and leave it there with a 200 rupees fee. 5. Collect it after 3 days. 6. Go to a studio to take 3 photographs 7. Take these back to the Gas dealer. 8. They then give you a KYC form, and tell you what else to bring. 9. Go with all these, and then THESE give you a date & time. 10. Go on that date, but if you miss the time, they will give you another appointment. On the 10th visit, you will know if they need anything more!! Totally 20 Auto Rickshaw trips for an old person. Two ladies sitting at the HP gas agency have absolutely no intention to do anything faster. Looked like they are enjoying annoying you with all these trips, and ultimately getting you to SUBMIT, and Surrender to them because should you show any displeasure, they have the " Power" to get you to make two more visits somewhere!!! Maybe India is spending a lot more fuel than necessary because of these blasted red tapism and the pleasure people take in getting you to walk so many times to them.
