Ration Card Update: Ration card is an essential document in India, which guarantees wheat and rice and provides many other benefits. The central government is now also giving free grains to ration card holders, which you can easily take advantage of. Some rules have now been made to bring transparency to the ration distribution system.

First of all, the government has made it mandatory for ration card holders to do e-KYC. The facilities can be denied if the ration card is not e-KYCed. The date has also been fixed for this. On the other hand, before getting e-KYC done, you must link the mobile number with the ration card. If the mobile number is linked, will the e-KYC process only be completed.

Who will have to update the mobile number?

If you bought a new mobile number a few days ago, you can get it updated on the ration card. If you are no longer using the phone number registered in the ration card, then in such a situation, there will be a need to update the mobile number. This is because while doing e-KYC, the work of sending OTP to the registered mobile number is done. Without OTP, KYC will not be successful, which will cause trouble.
