Sui Gas Connection Fees and Charges (2026)

The cost of a new Sui Gas connection varies depending on the distance from the main pipeline.

• Application Fee: Usually a small processing fee (approx. PKR 500-1000).
• Security Deposit: This is refundable and depends on the gas load. For a standard domestic 5-marla house, it ranges from PKR 6,000 to 10,000.
• Service Line Charges: If the gas pipeline is far from your house, additional charges per foot may apply.

Stages of Application

Once you apply, your application goes through several “Status” stages:

1. Application Received: Your data is in the system.
2. Survey Pending: A team will visit your home to verify the distance from the pipeline.
3. Demand Notice Issued: You will receive a challan (bill) to pay the security and connection fees.
4. Work Order Issued: After payment, a technical team is assigned to install the meter.
5. Commissioned: The gas connection is active.

To ensure you are on the first page of Google, it’s vital to help users avoid mistakes:

• Incomplete Property Docs: Using a “Power of Attorney” that isn’t legally verified.
• Illegal Extensions: If the team finds you were using gas illegally (UFG) before applying, your application will be blocked and a heavy fine will be imposed.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q1. What is the total cost of a new Sui Gas connection in 2026?

For the 2026 cycle, the government has shifted new domestic connections to the RLNG (Regasified Liquefied Natural Gas) model. The estimated cost for a standard house (up to 10 Marla) is approximately PKR 21,500 to PKR 22,725. This includes:

• Refundable Security Deposit: PKR 20,000

• Service Line Charges: PKR 1,500

• Taxes/Duties: PKR 225 – PKR 1,000 (depending on the province).

Q2. Is there an “Urgent” or “Fast Track” category?

Yes. If you want to bypass the standard merit list, you can apply for a Fast Track connection by paying an additional urgent fee of PKR 25,000. This can significantly reduce the waiting time for the site survey and meter installation.

Q3. Can I apply for a regular “System Gas” connection instead of RLNG?

As of late 2026, the government has primarily lifted the ban on RLNG-based connections. While traditional “system gas” (indigenous gas) is cheaper, it is currently reserved for older pending applications. New applicants are generally moved to the RLNG tariff, which is approximately 70% higher than conventional rates.

Q4. What documents are mandatory for the online application? You must have clear scans (under 1MB) of: Valid CNIC (Front and Back). Property Ownership Proof (Registry, Allotment Letter, or Sale Deed).

• Neighbor’s Gas Bill (A copy of the most recent bill from your immediate neighbor).

• Affidavit (For certain categories, confirming no gas theft or previous dues).

Q5. How can I track my application status?

You can track your application status using your 14-digit Reference Number or CNIC on the official tracking portals:

• SNGPL Tracking: SNGPL Online Status
• SSGC Tracking: SSGC Customer Connect App or Web Portal.

Q6. My application was rejected for being “Non-Feasible.” What does this mean?

“Non-Feasible” usually means that there is no gas distribution pipeline currently running in front of your premises. If the nearest gas main is too far away, the company cannot provide a connection unless a new network is laid, which may require a collective application from the entire street.

Tips for Quick Approval

• Neighbor’s Bill Accuracy: Ensure the neighbor’s bill you provide is for a house on the same street and side as yours. This helps the surveyor find the correct pipeline connection point.
• Clear Documents: Blurred photos of property documents are the #1 reason for application delays. Use a scanning app for high-quality results.
• Check for Dues: If your house was previously rented and the former tenant left unpaid bills, you must clear those arrears before a new meter can be installed.
