Abstract: This project presents a tackles the rampant issue of petrol pump fraud in India, particularly after the Legal Metrology Department's office hours. By utilizing IoT technology, we introduce a solution that ensures fair pricing, prevents scams, and enables 24/7 self-service fuel dispensing. In India, manual price updates at petrol pumps create opportunities for scams, especially during off-hours when oversight is minimal. To combat this, we introduce an IoT- based system with real-time price updates and an Android app for self-service fueling. Prices are centrally updated, promoting transparency and discouraging fraud. Customers can access fuel at any time by scanning a QR code, specifying the quantity, and making a secure wallet payment through the app. This eliminates reliance on station staff, enhancing convenience and trust. Our project's benefits include reduced scams, accurate pricing, and improved customer convenience. Collaboration with petroleum companies is essential for successful implementation, potentially revolutionizing the fuel retail industry in India, particularly during off-hours when fraud risks are higher.
