Mandatory e-KYC for Ration Card Holders

The Central government has set a deadline of March 31, 2025, for all ration card holders to complete the e-KYC process. This move aims to enhance transparency in the Public Distribution System (PDS) and prevent misuse.

Why e-KYC is Crucial

Completing the e-KYC ensures uninterrupted access to subsidized food grains, streamlines the distribution process, and prevents card deactivation.

How to Complete e-KYC Online

Visit your state's PDS website, locate the e-KYC section, enter your ration and Aadhaar numbers, verify your mobile number with an OTP, and submit for verification.

Offline e-KYC Process

For those without online access, visit the nearest ration card office or CSC with your ration and Aadhaar cards for biometric verification and receive a confirmation slip.
