The government has taken this decision to prevent fraud as many people were taking ration by getting BPL cards made in a wrong way. E-KYC can be done from home through Mera e-KYC app. The Food and Supplies Department has given instructions to make the depot holders aware.
Investigation of those taking government ration from the depot is starting. The government has come to know that people have got BPL cards made by fraud to take advantage of various government schemes. Most of the people are neither coming to get ration nor have applied for Rs 500 domestic gas cylinder.
Is the card holder taking ration anywhere else?
There are many people who have got BPL cards made in other states as well. They are getting ration from there as well. To identify such people, now the government has made it mandatory for every card holder to get e-KYC done. Its last date is August 5, 2025. This will reveal whether the card holder is taking ration anywhere else. Whether he even lives in the district or not.
