Sources said the Commission had detailed meeting on the issue on Saturday evening and will hold further debate on the matter in its meeting on Monday.
Earlier, the Commission had said that it has taken note of AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal's complaint that on a proposal by Reliance Industries, the Petroleum Ministry is going to hike gas prices from April 1.
Kejriwal had in a letter to EC termed the gas price hike as violation of the Model Code of Conduct and alleged that the decision was aimed at providing windfall gains to Mukesh Ambani's Reliance Industries.
Petroleum Minister M Veerappa Moily has made it clear that the government will not go back on its decision to hike rates from April 1.
