Ration Card Rules 2026: Under the Digital India Mission, efforts are underway to make government services online and transparent. In this regard, several important rules are being implemented for ration card holders. These rules not only increase transparency in ration distribution but also ensure proper delivery of services to beneficiaries.
The most important rule among these is e-KYC. This is now mandatory for ration card holders. The Bihar government has even announced that card holders who have not completed e-KYC will no longer receive rations after a certain date. Let us provide you with complete details.
What is e-KYC process and why is it necessary?
E-KYC is a digital identity verification process in which ration card holders register their identity card details, mobile number and biometric details like thumb impression. Its objective is to ensure that there is no fraud in ration distribution and food grains reach only the right people. This process makes the government ration distribution system transparent and helps in preventing fake beneficiaries. Therefore, now it is mandatory for every ration card holder in Bihar to do e-KYC.
What is the importance of getting e-KYC done on the last date and time?
- The Bihar government has set the last date for completing e-KYC as February 28, 2026.
- If any ration card holder does not complete his e-KYC by this date, he may be excluded from the ration distribution system.
- No person will get ration without e-KYC.
- Therefore, all ration card holders are advised to complete this process as soon as possible to avoid any kind of inconvenience.
How to get e-KYC done?
The easiest way to get e-KYC done for ration card is to visit the nearest Public Distribution System (PDS) shop with the ration card and Aadhaar card.
