Ration Card E-Kyc: There is a risk of name being deleted from the ration card; People of states like UP and Bihar should do this important work soon..

The central government has made it necessary to get e-KYC done for ration cards. If the ration card holders do not get e-KYC done, then their names will be removed from the ration beneficiary list. The last date for ration card e-KYC has been fixed as 31 December 2024. The beneficiary has to link the mobile number with the ration card e-KYC.

Why e-KYC is important
Many citizens go to other states for livelihood. In such a situation, e-KYC has been made mandatory so that they get the benefit of ration cards in other states as well. As soon as the e-KYC of the beneficiary is completed, he will easily get a ration at the ration depot of another state.

How will e-KYC be done (Ration Card E-Kyc Process)
To get the e-KYC of the ration card done, the beneficiary has to take his ration card and Aadhar card to the ration shop. Here he will have to get biometric verification done along with the details of the Aadhar card. If the biometric verification of a beneficiary is not successful 4 times, then he can get the verification done again after three months.

Link mobile number to ration card.
Apart from ration cards, beneficiaries can also update or change their mobile number. Only the head of the ration card has the authority to change the mobile number. If the wrong details of any member are given in the ration card, then the head has the authority to get it corrected.
