Now ration card holders can get e-KYC done by visiting any fair price shop of their choice anywhere in the country. This system is especially beneficial for migrant laborers who earlier had to go to their home district for e-KYC. Along with e-KYC, the facility of linking mobile number to ration card will also be available.
Ration Card: Additional Commissioner Food and Logistics has issued a letter to the District Supply Department that the work of getting 100% e-KYC of ration card holders is in progress at the national level. To make e-KYC accessible to the beneficiaries, the Central Government has made an arrangement that any beneficiary can get e-KYC done by visiting any fair shop of his choice anywhere in the country.
This arrangement will be especially beneficial for migrant laborers, who had to travel long distances to their home districts for e-KYC.
According to the District Supply Officer, the fair price sellers will inform the beneficiaries that they can get their e-KYC done here. There is no need to go to the home state for this. E-KYC will be done free of cost with the help of fair price sellers through e-pass. For this, biometric authentication of the beneficiaries will be done.
Along with e-KYC, the facility of linking mobile number to ration card will also be available under this option. Using this, the ration card head can feed or modify his mobile number. Not only this, if the relation of a family member of the head is displayed incorrectly, then it can also be corrected. Only the head of the ration card will have the right to make this amendment.
