3. Sustainable Anti-Corrupt mechanism: You fine a violator and give 30 or 50 % to the reporter. (On the Lines of False Claims Act in USA), this will surely spur the interest in Citizens, reporters and others. Currently the news reporters are collecting money from Distributors for not reporting their illegality.
4. Even Distributors are facing many problems such are increased operating cost, unacceptable bribe/favour demands from local politicians and Govt Employees, which is forcing them to...

We have to involve people wholeheartedly to improve transparency.In the era of capitalism we need to look at ways to promote citizen involvement in tackling corruption. To achieve this,
1.Incentive based corruption reporting: Provide Monitory or LPG Incentives for those who report corruption with proof.
2.Print receipt in Local Languages, I have requested the same to Regional Manager many times ,but invain; on back of that clearly mention, the frequent corrupt practices and ask them to report

Additional amount have been collected in every stages.
for new connection its compulsory to buy gas stove,lighter, stand etc.
If we apply for second cylinder then distributors demand to purchase cooker with deposit amt. delivery persons will not not deliver unless we pay Rs. 50 in chennai.
Major reason is complaints/ feed backs given to indane takes times to revert, but since lpg is our day today need we cant wait or fight with them.
we need support team need to sort issues within 78hrs.

Sir decrease the income limit for cutting the LPG Subsidy from ₹1000000 to ₹ 500000. People purposely dont want to give their personal details. They simply open a bank account and attach it with LPG so that their real transaction Purpose cannot be identified. Make LPG refill online payment so that the delivery boys don't demand us money. Bring this facility soon. The government can save lot of its expenses.

Respected sir,
One suggestion for LPG subsidy : - Restrict the LPG Gas to 6 per year and put a clause, if any body give up the subsidy then he/she can get 12 LPG Gas per year. And also should have a provision for tax benefit for him/her of that amount.

Respected Prime Minister ji,
I will like to bring to your knowledge , how the rich people pay less for services than poor people in our country. For a money order the poor people of our country pay 0.05% as handling charges (Rs.250/- on a money order of Rs.5000/-.) Where as rich corporates pay just(Rs.40/- on funds transfer through RTGS for an amount on Rs.500,000/-). I think as a welfare measure pls reduce the amt to Rs.50/- for MO upto Rs.5000/-. and announce as a welfare scheme in yr speech

Respected sir,
When a common man seeks a new lpg connection, the distributor of gas agencies forces him to buy gas stove and other accessories from gas agency even if one has them already or wants to purchase from outside. Facing harassment a person ends up buying these accessories at high cost from the agency. I wish we may stop this blatant exploitation by the gas agencies. No doubt they have made everything online but still at ground level agencies have not changed
