• The department has given orders to get e-KYC done because ration is being distributed in the name of many people who are married or who have passed away. Consumers will be forced to remove the names of such members from the ration card and only those active members will be given ration after getting their e-KYC done.

• If you are also a ration card holder, then it is important for you to know what is the last date for getting e-KYC done? The department has given the target to all ration dealers to do e-KYC by 30 June 2024 while distributing ration, that is, you can get e-KYC done only till this date.

• This question must be running in the minds of most people that will ration not be available without getting e-KYC done? Will these people be deprived of free ration? So here you should know that if there are a total of five members in your ration card and if the fingerprint of one member does not come or he is married or has passed away, then in such a situation the name of that member will be removed from the ration card and ration will be available in the name of the remaining active members.

• First of all, know that you do not have to get e-KYC done from anywhere else nor do you have to pay anyone for it, because it is absolutely free. For e-KYC, you have to go to your government ration shop from where you get ration. There, your e-KYC will be done by taking your finger prints in the POS machine.
