UP Ration Card Update: If you are a ration card holder in Uttar Pradesh, this news could be very important for you. If you have received a message on your mobile phone regarding the inclusion of your name in the draft ration card list, or any other notification concerning your ration card, do not ignore it.
First, visit your nearest ration shop to verify the details. It is essential that the information for all family members is correctly recorded on the ration card. If a new member has joined your family and their e-KYC has not yet been completed, please ensure that it is done promptly.
What should ration card holders do?
If you receive any message related to your ration card, visit your nearest government ration shop—also known as a Fair Price Shop (FPS)—to check the status of your ration card and verify if your name is included in the draft list. Additionally, ensure that the e-KYC process is completed for any family members for whom it is still pending. Once the e-KYC is finished, you can easily check the updated status.
e-KYC is mandatory for new members.
It is crucial to have the identities of all individuals listed on the ration card verified and approved. Therefore, whenever a new member is added to the family, you must verify their details and the status of their e-KYC. The e-KYC process involves biometric verification, which is conducted using the e-POS (Electronic Point of Sale) machine available at the ration shop. If you encounter any difficulties during the approval process, consult the ration dealer for guidance.
What to do if you face any issues?
If ration card holders encounter any problems, they can contact their District Supply Office. Furthermore, card holders can call the toll-free number 1967 to seek information or lodge a complaint.
