Ration card holders should note: This is the last date to get e-KYC done, if not done, you may face this loss

Be it the state government or the central government, both of them work to benefit the needy and poor class by running many beneficial and welfare schemes at their level. In these, the subsidy is given in some schemes, financial help in some schemes, and some goods are given under some schemes. For example, the central government gives free ration to ration card holders every month. In such a situation, if you are also a ration card holder, then now you will have to get e-KYC done. The ration card holders have been asked by the department to get e-KYC done. So let's know how this will happen and what is its last date. You can know about this in the next slides...

Why is e-KYC being done?

It is believed that there are many such ration card holders whose ration card, a member has got married and a member has passed away from the name given in the ration card. In such a situation, e-KYC is being done to remove the names of these people from the ration card, so that only those people can get ration who have e-KYC.

According to the rules, every member registered in the ration card will have to get e-KYC done. At the same time, the consumer will be forced to remove the name of the member who has died or married, etc. from the ration card. Whereas, people who will get e-KYC will start getting ration as before. If you do not get e-KYC done, it will be difficult for the department to verify you and in such a situation your ration can be stuck. Therefore, get this work done in time.

How can you get e-KYC done?

If you are also a ration card holder, then to get e-KYC done, you just have to go to your ration shop i.e. from where you get government ration. Keep in mind that all those members whose name is on the ration card should go here. After this, you have to get e-KYC done by giving your finger print in the POS machine. This is free, do not pay money to the ration dealer for this.

This is the last date
The department has asked the ration card holders to get e-KYC done. The department has set a target of doing e-KYC of all ration card holders by 30 June 2024 while distributing ration. Therefore, you should also get e-KYC done by 30 June 2024.
