Big update on ration card
Under the National Food Security Act (NFSA), all ration card holders are required to do E-KYC (Ration Card E-KYC). The BJP government of Delhi has started getting e-Kyc of ration card holders. Under the Mahila Samriddhi Yojna, there is a need for an E-KYC ration card to get Rs 2500 in women’s account and take advantage of Ayushman Yojana.
When is the last date?
The last date for E-KYC of all units recorded in the ration card was earlier 31 March. This deadline has now been increased to 30 April 2025. That is, you have only 8 days left to get E-KYC done. If E-KYC is not done till April 30, then you will not be able to take advantage of free grains.
