Ration Card Latest Update: India’s population is more than 100 crore. Even today there are many people in the country who are unable to manage two meals a day.
Such people are given ration at a reduced price under the National Food Security Scheme of the Government of India. To take advantage of this government scheme, people must have a ration card. People who do not have a ration card cannot take advantage of this scheme.
New guidelines issued by the government
If you are a ration card holder, but you have not done this important work, then you will not be able to take advantage of it even though you have a ration card. The benefits you are getting may stop. It is possible that your name will be removed from the ration card. If you do not want your name to be removed from the ration card, then complete this work. The government has issued guidelines for this.
The names of these people will be removed from the ration card
The government has implemented strict rules for ration cards. According to the new guidelines, the names of ration card holders who have not yet done e-KYC will be removed from the ration card. The government clearly says that e-KYC is necessary so that the benefits reach the right beneficiaries. Without e-KYC, there is a possibility of fraud and irregularities.
Therefore, this decision has been taken. Now this work has been made mandatory for all ration card beneficiaries. Therefore, if you have not yet completed the e-KYC process, then get it done as soon as possible. Otherwise, your name can be removed from the ration card.
Follow this process
To get e-KYC done for ration card, first of all you have to go to your nearest ration dealer or public service center. There you will have to get biometric verification done through Aadhaar card. Let us tell you that in many states, the option of e-KYC has also been given on online portals. You can log in to the portal from mobile or computer, enter Aadhaar number and complete e-KYC through OTP.
Those who are facing problems in fingerprint or OTP verification can easily get this done by visiting an offline center. You can avail the facilities of ration card only after getting e-KYC done. The government has also fixed the last date for e-KYC. It is necessary to get it done before this date.
