Bhagalpur. E-KYC of ration card holders is being done to prevent malpractices in the distribution of government ration i.e. PDS. If you are also a ration card holder then this news is important for you. If you do not get this work done then your ration card will also be closed and you will be deprived of getting food grains. There are more than 4 lakh ration card holders in Bhagalpur district.
Now the ration card holders of the district will have to get eKYC done. Otherwise you will not be given ration. District Supply Officer Raju Kumar said that there are more than 4 lakh card holders in the district. Out of this, about 40 percent people have got eKYC done. It is necessary for the remaining consumers to get this done as well.
How and where to get e-KYC done
Consumers can get their ration card eKYC done by going to the PDS shop from where they get their grains. Consumers should go to the dealer with their Aadhar cards along with all the members of their family and eKYC will be done there. If even one member is missing from the ration card, that member will not get ration. Therefore, it is necessary to get KYC done for all the members. Only those who have eKYC will get ration in their name.
why is it necessary
Many times ration is taken from people who have been out for a long time or are dead. There will be no scope for fraud if KYC is done. Grains will be given to those members who have done eKYC. Grains will not be given to those people whose fingerprints are not done. Fingerprints are matched with the Aadhar card. Only then eKYC is completed. It is absolutely free. There is no charge for this.
