In our country, millions of needy people get essential grains like rice, wheat absolutely free of cost through Ration Card. This facility is a great support for those families whose financial condition is weak. But, there are some eligibility rules to take advantage of this facility. Nowadays, if you are also being asked to get Ration Card KYC (Ration Card e-KYC), then wait.
First of all you have to update your mobile number. Without updating the mobile number, you will not be able to do the KYC of your ration card (Ration Card KYC). However, not all ration card holders need to update the mobile number, but in some special circumstances it becomes very important.
Who has to update the mobile number
If you have recently changed your mobile number, or now you are not using the old phone number that is already registered in your ration card, then in such a situation it is very important for you to update your mobile number. This is because when you do KYC, an OTP (One Time Password) will be sent to your registered mobile number. It is impossible to do KYC without this OTP. Therefore, make sure that your active mobile number is linked to the ration card.
How to update the mobile number on the ration card
If you also want to update a new mobile number in your ration card, then follow these easy steps given below. You can do it both online and offline:
