Who writes these pages
MDG Services writes these pages, in plain words, from official sources. We do not sell, allot, book or arrange petrol pump dealerships, land, licences or approvals. Dealerships are given only by the oil companies, who advertise the locations themselves HPCL dealer selection brochure, June 2023. The oil companies say they have appointed no agency or person to select dealers, and that no one is authorised to ask candidates for money at any stage; fees and deposits are paid only through their official website BPCL notice to petrol pump applicants. If someone asks you for money to get you a dealership, do not pay, and tell the oil company or the police.
How we check facts, and what to do if something is out of date
Every fact names its source: a law, a rule, a standard, a government notice or an oil company's own guideline. We open the source on the day we write and show that date on the page. If we cannot find an official source for a point, we leave the point out and tell you where to look.
Rules, fees and guidelines change, and oil companies and states do not all follow the same rule. If you see something out of date, write to us at the address in the full disclaimer below and we will check it and correct it. These pages are general information, not legal, tax or financial advice.
Where this comes from
- Notice for retail outlet (petrol pump) applicants, Bharat Petroleum: no one is authorised to ask candidates for money; payments only on the official site.

About this page

We make an app for dealers
We make Dealer Kavach, an app for petrol pump dealers. Where a page mentions tools or services for a dealer, remember that. We state facts from the source, not our own opinion of what is best.
We do not sell dealerships or licences
MDG Services does not sell, allot, book or arrange petrol pump dealerships, land, licences or approvals, and we have no connection with any oil company's selection of dealers. Dealerships are offered only by the oil companies through their own advertisements and websites. The oil companies say no agent is authorised to ask candidates for money, and that fees and deposits are paid only through their official website. If someone asks you for money to get you a dealership, do not pay, and tell the oil company or the police.
Sources and dates
Every fact on these pages names its source: a law, a rule, a standard, a government notice or reply, or an oil company's own published guideline. Each page shows the date its facts were checked. Fees, figures, guidelines and portals change, and oil companies and states do not all follow the same rule. Check the source before you act, and tell us if anything here is out of date: we will correct it.
Not legal, tax or financial advice
Pages about licences, tax, fees or penalties explain the general position in India on the date shown. Laws and rules change, and every case is different. For your own case, speak to an advocate, a chartered accountant, or the oil company or authority concerned.
Earnings and costs are not promises
Nothing here promises a dealership, a licence, an income or a profit. Where a page gives a figure for a cost or a commission, it is what the source states on the date shown, not what any pump will earn or spend.
Other companies' names
Oil companies and every other company, product or body named here belong to their owners. We name them only to say whose rule or service a fact is about. They have not seen or approved these pages.

If you see a mistake, or need to send us a notice, write to hello@mdgservices.in. We read every message, check it, and correct or remove the page.
Limits on our responsibility

This does not limit anything the law does not allow us to limit, including responsibility for fraud or for an error we made after being told of it.
