Ration Card : Do this work immediately, otherwise you will stop getting wheat and rice

Ration Card: The government has alerted ration card holders across the country. The government has implemented an important scheme related to ration card, under which it is now very important to get e-KYC done. If you have not done e-KYC yet, then you have to complete this process as soon as possible, otherwise your ration card may be blocked.

Ration Card: A big news has come out for ration card holders. The government has made it mandatory for ration card holders to get eKYC done. The government has clearly said that it is very important to get eKYC done for every member included in the ration card. Just getting eKYC done for the head will not work. If this is not done, the ration card may be canceled. Along with this, the free wheat and rice will be stopped.

Under the Pradhan Mantri Garib Kalyan Anna Yojana (PMGKAY), free ration is provided to the poor class by the government. In such a situation, it is necessary for those who get free ration to get eKYC done. This information has been given by the Department of Food and Public Distribution on the social media platform X.

Ration card will be cancelled without eKYC
The Department of Food and Public Distribution of the Government of India has said that free ration is your right under the PM Garib Kalyan Anna Yojana and your right will be protected with eKYC. Therefore, get eKYC done for all the members registered in the ration card and avoid inconvenience in future. Overall, if you do not get eKYC done for the ration card, it may be cancelled. In such a situation, the ration provided for free may stop being available. Now Aadhaar based verification is necessary not only for the head of the family, but also for all the members of the ration card.

Why is eKYC being done
Let us tell you that the main objective of the government is to bring transparency in the ration distribution system and to provide the benefits of ration to the right people. For this, e-KYC is an important step. In this process, the ration card holder is matched with the Aadhar card, which ensures that only the right person is getting the benefit of ration.
