In view of the coming monsoon, free ration for June, July and August will be distributed to the beneficiaries in the month of May itself. This information has been given by Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Samrat Chaudhary.
Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Samrat Chaudhary said that the central government has allowed advance lifting of food grains given under the National Food Security Act (NFSA) and distribution among the beneficiaries in view of the upcoming monsoon. An order has been issued by the Department of Food and Public Distribution of the Ministry of Food and Public Distribution, stating that the lifting of food grains to be allocated to the states and union territories till August 2025 should be completed by 30 May 2025.
Last date for eKYC in Bihar is 30th June
Bihar Food and Consumer Protection Department has fixed the deadline of 30 June 2025 to link the ration card with Aadhaar. If the ration card holders do not get Aadhaar seeding done by the stipulated date, then action will be taken to delete the name from the ration card and the benefit of food grains against such members will not be given to the beneficiary family.
If the Aadhaar seeding of any member mentioned in the ration card is not done by June 30, then his name will be removed from the ration card (with effect from July 01, 2025) and he will not be given the benefit of food grains.
If a beneficiary is living in another state, he/she need not return to his/her home state for Aadhaar seeding. Beneficiaries can visit the nearest Public Distribution System shop from wherever they are and complete the process through e-POS machine.
