Procedure for Applying for a New Sui Gas Connection

Here is the step-by-step process to apply for a Sui Gas connection:

1. Submission of Application

• Collect the application form from the nearest SNGPL area office or download it from the official website.
• Fill in the form and attach the following documents:
  • Photocopy of CNIC
  • Property ownership documents (Fard, Registry, or other legal papers)
  • Photocopy of the neighbor’s Sui Gas bill
• Submit the completed form to the relevant SNGPL office and collect a receipt for tracking your application.

2. House Line Survey by SNGPL

Once the application is submitted, an SNGPL representative will visit the site to conduct a survey. They will evaluate the feasibility of the connection and submit a technical report for approval.

3. Proposal Letter and Demand Notice

If the feasibility report is approved, the applicant will receive a demand notice. This notice outlines:

• Security Charges: Rs. 4,500
• Service Line Charges:
  • Upto 10 Marla: Rs. 1,500
  • Above 10 Marla: Rs. 3,000

4. House Line Installation

• After receiving the demand notice, the applicant must hire an SNGPL-registered contractor to install the house line.
• The contractor ensures that the installation follows the quality standards set by SNGPL. After installation, a test report will be provided to the applicant.
• The applicant submits this report to the regional SNGPL office along with the supply contract agreement.

5. Deposit Demand Notice

The applicant visits the regional office or customer care center to submit:

• Test report and installation certificate
• CNIC copy
• Signed contract agreement
  The demand notice must be deposited at a designated bank, and the receipt should be kept for reference.

6. Gas Connection Installation

The distribution team will install the gas meter and connect the gas pipeline to your premises. Connections are provided on a first-come, first-served basis unless a special connection has been opted for.

7. Receiving Your First Sui Gas Bill

Within 45 days of the connection installation, the applicant will receive the first Sui Gas bill. In case the bill is not received, users can access the SNGPL duplicate bill service online.

Important Warning for New Applicants

• Only pay the official fees for your connection as outlined by SNGPL.
• Contractors can charge for labor costs, but no additional payments should be made to agents or third parties to expedite the connection. This is illegal and can lead to delays and loss of money.
