An official survey to prepare House Line Plan

After a specific allotted time/merit to the application, a group of officials- a second time- will look in on the site and construct a feasibility report to allot a proposal letter. These officials at the time of the visit are supposed to prepare a plan called House Line Plan. This plan defines whether the gas connection is feasible- technically and operationally- there or not.

Demand Notice/ Proposal Letter

A package of demand notice and a house line plan will be granted to applicants. Apart from these two documents, a list of installation contractors will also be issued along with the contractor’s service rates. These are the company’s registered contractors. Applicants are free to choose any one of them to prepare the land for the installation.

The details of the services charges and security fee will be as:

Area	Service Line Charges in Rs.	Security fee in Rs	Total
Up to 10 Marla	1500	4500	Rs. 6000
Above 10 Marla	3000	4500	Rs. 7500

At the Time of Installation

The concern of SNGPL company is two folds. The Company put the safety of consumers and avoidance of any unwanted incident- due to the leakage or inefficient installation of gas connection- as its priority.

Secondly, the company set a quality standard for installation. For that matter, the company registered a number of low- and high-pressure house-line skilled contractors.

These contractors are loaded with skilled manpower who are well aware of the standard requirement of the installation. They are responsible to ensure the connection must be leakproof after the gas consumption started.

Applicants have their own choice to deal with any one of these contractors hired by the SNGPL company. The service charges of the contractors should be settled on their own. It will not be included in the company’s service charges. The high-pressure consumers only will get the test report from contractors. No test report will be entertained to low-pressure consumers.

This test report has equal weightage to other documents and must be attached in a file along with other documents to the office. All service and security charges must be paid before the file submission.

No contractor has the credibility to receive the company service or security charges, they only have the authority to get their installation service charges. So, other charges must be paid to the company’s account.

Deposit

The applicant must visit the office or any nearest branch to get all the necessary documents. One of the most important documents is a receipt obtained from the bank where a deposit of the service line and security charges are paid.

Along with other documents this receipt is supposed to be attached and a copy of this receipt should be maintained at home. The company can ask for this receipt more than once. Charges including- security fees, service line payments, and any other charges must be paid at the designated branch.

Allotment of connection

‘First come first serve’ is a policy of the company to entertain new gas connections. Once your turn is up, the distribution department is primarily responsible to install the pipe at the place of seeking connection. After piping, the same department is authorized to install a gas meter and commence gas supply at the site.

1^st Gas bill

It will not be ready after a month but after 45 days when the connection was installed. Sometimes the distribution department may face some problems with the distribution of the first bill if this happens to you that you may not receive the first bill even after 45 days. Then you ought to contact the regional office to get your first bill.

Important note

Avoid delivering any kind of unnecessary payment to a contractor or an agent. It is nothing to do with company charges. The company does not accept any money but via bank deposit. If this happens anyway it is considered a crime and you can seek accountability against the culprit.

Exemption of Test Certificate for Domestic Consumers

Recently, the authorities on Petroleum and Natural Resources passed a resolution about the applicant of low-pressure houseline contractors. It is said that there will be an obligation for contractors to issue reports- for low-pressure house lines. No such document is obligatory to submit along with the application by the applicant.

On the contrary, all installation of pipes for a new connection must be done by the registered and skilled manpower finalized by the SNGPL company. It is the responsibility of the applicant to make sure that no other contractor but the registered one will do the job by using the quality standard material declared by SNGPL.

The workers are responsible to check strictly leakage at a suggested pressure of the houseline. An undertaking form will be issued by the Sales section before the meter is fixed.  The development section is responsible to counter check and issuing this form.

RLNG-based domestic gas connection for housing societies

A Request Form for Name Change

To facilitate its consumers, SNGPL company has made it easier if any consumer wants or needs to transfer their gas connection to someone else. There are three main points to consider to change the name of the SNGPL connection.

1. There can be two phases of an SNGPL connection: an active connection and an inactive or disconnected meter connection. For an active gas connection, if the consumer is also the owner of the property, or some power of attorney holder entity then, in that case, the company permits the user to transfer the gas connection by submitting a few legal documents. Among those documents a few documents are; legal ownership files or a stamp paper of property disputes etc. along with these papers, the consumer must provide a copy of CNIC, an affidavit, and the request form from this link. https://www.sngpl.com.pk/web/download/affidavit_owner_urdu.pdf. The complete transfer of gas connection is possible when, even, the security charges, are paid, also made the transfer to the updated user name. In case of security default or previous payable bill(s), a new user is not restricted to pay at the time of shifting the connection name. On the contrary, all the previous payable dues whether it is the security or some due bill(s), the new user must pay before the transfer procedure.
2. The second is important in both situations; an active or in-active connection status. If the consumer is new to the place where a gas connection is installed. Then the new consumer is also applying to transfer the connection to his/her name. For that matter, the owner of the property must issue a NOC in the name of a new consumer. The expected new user should submit the awarded NOC along with a request form https://www.sngpl.com.pk/web/download/affidavit_tenant_urdu.pdf to the SNGPL office. In this case, no transfer of the previous security charge is possible to the name of the new consumer.
3. All the transfer procedure is free of any official charges.

Important Guidelines to Consider

• No matter what is the phase of the connection, whether it is active or not. The company signs a new and maybe a changed gas sales contract.
• The applicant must use an affidavit worth 100 Rupees in his name without mentioning the current date.
• In the case of the commercial and industrial gas connection transfer process, the user will not be able to withdraw security charges.
• If the connection is active in the name of a joint owner. The new user is not restricted to get NOC from the joint owner(s). There may be a need for NADRA FRC to maintain a record. A gas bill holds, maybe, a title anyway. Such as “Rasheed Hussain and others”.

Advance Payment Plan

SNGPL has provided another marvelous facility to consumers. The company advises paying fees in advance a year-long consumption payment. Following are the benefits to pay in advance to the company. On average an applicant ought to visit 11 times a year to pay the dues.

This is a hectic and time taking responsibility. Another good point is that the Karachi Interbank Offered Rate (KIBOR) profits at the rate of -2% to reduce the monthly dues. Further, there will be no responsibility for a timeline to pay the dues throughout the year. Lessen the fear of extra charges in the order of late submission. Briefly.

• No repeated visits to the bank
• Swift and trouble-free enrollment
• No extra charges for every month
• No need to wait for the monthly distribution of the bill

Method to take the opportunity

You need to download an application form. Then you need to submit the form to the Regional office of billing services. The applicant will get the payable dues including the bill charges as per the last year of paid dues with an additional 20% charge in the total sum. On the submission of advance payment KIBOR discount after every 6 months will be added to your account. The company will keep sending you the month just to update you about your account and consumption.
