If you are also a ration card holder, then this information is very important for you! Now it has become mandatory to get Ration Card e-KYC done. The good news is that you can do this entire work from your mobile, sitting at home. Also, you can find out whether your e-KYC has been completed successfully or not. The government’s goal is that free or low-priced ration reaches the right beneficiaries, and e-KYC is a big step in this direction.
Is your ration card e-KYC complete
If you have already got e-KYC done and want to know whether it has been completed successfully or not, then follow the steps given below:
First of all, download the ‘Mera KYC’ app from the Play Store of your mobile. This is the same app that you might have used while completing e-KYC earlier.
After downloading the app, you have to select your location.
After this, fill in your personal information like Aadhaar Number, Captcha and enter the OTP received on your registered mobile number.
Now, the Ration Card e-KYC Status will appear on your screen. If KYC is completed, then ‘Y’ will be written there.
This process will help you to know immediately what your e-KYC status is and whether you need to take any further action or not.

Purpose of Ration Card e-KYC
The main purpose of Ration Card e-KYC is to ensure that the free or low-priced ration provided by the Food Department can easily reach the needy people. Also, the government has adequate and accurate information about all the beneficiaries. This will help prevent duplicate ration cards and fraud, and bring transparency in the distribution system. This initiative also strengthens the ‘One Nation, One Ration Card’ scheme.
