If you have a ration card and you are taking free food grains under the Antyodaya scheme, then you have to take action immediately. The government has made e-KYC mandatory for ration card holders. Through this process, the government wants to ensure that only needy people get the benefit of free food grains.
What is e-KYC and why is it necessary
The government’s aim is that the benefits of ration reach only the needy people. Many times it happens that ration cards are made in the name of the wrong people. Due to this, the benefit of the government scheme does not reach the right people.
That is why the government has made e-KYC mandatory for ration card holders. Through e-KYC, the government will confirm the identity of the ration card holders and cancel the ration card made in the wrong way.
The last date of e-KYC was extended
Earlier the last date for e-KYC was 30 September, but now it has been extended to 31 December 2024. If you have not done e-KYC yet, then get it done quickly. If you do not get e-KYC done on time, then your ration card may be canceled and you will not get the benefit of free grains.
How to do e-KYC
The process of e-KYC is very easy. You can do it online from home. Apart from this, you can also get KYC done through a ration dealer. For this, you have to provide necessary documents like a ration card, Aadhaar card, voter ID, PAN card, passport, or bank passbook.
