The Delhi government is conducting e-verification of ration card holders to ensure that the needy receive the benefits of government schemes properly. If you have not yet completed the e-KYC for your ration card, do it immediately. This process is not only linked to the ration scheme but also to important facilities like the Mahila Samridhi Yojana, Ayushman Bharat Card, and Ujjwala Yojana.

The government has set a deadline to complete this process by March 31. After this date, you may face problems in getting ration and other government benefits might stop.

The good news is that you can easily complete your e-KYC from home using a mobile app or by visiting your nearest ration shop. Don’t delay—complete your verification soon to secure the benefits of government schemes.

Why is e-KYC Being Done?

In Delhi, the e-KYC of ration card holders has not been updated since 2013, although it should be done every 5 years. Over the years, the financial situation of many ration card holders may have changed—some may have secured government jobs, while others may no longer be alive. Therefore, it is essential to update the ration card list. Now, with the BJP government in Delhi, there is a strong push to complete this process as soon as possible.

How Does e-KYC Relate to Mahila Samridhi Yojana?

Under the Mahila Samridhi Yojana, ration cards will be used to transfer ₹2500 to beneficiaries’ accounts. If you have not completed your e-KYC, you may miss out on the benefits of this scheme.
