Ration Card: Under the National Food Security Act (NFSA), the government provides cheap or free rations to millions of people. Changes are made to the rules from time to time to ensure this benefit reaches the right beneficiaries. In this regard, the government has made an important update. It will now be mandatory for every ration card holder to complete e-KYC once every five years. Many families last performed Aadhaar-linked verification around 2013. Now, after so many years, it’s necessary to update the database again. Fortunately, this process is now completely digital and can be completed via mobile in a matter of minutes.
How to do Ration Card e-KYC from home?
To simplify e-KYC, the government has made available two apps, ‘Mera Ration’ and ‘Aadhaar Face RD’. The process is as follows:
1. First, install both apps on your mobile.
2. Open the Mera Ration app and enter your location.
3. Now enter your Aadhaar number, fill the captcha and complete the verification through OTP.
4. Your Aadhaar-related information will then appear on the screen.
5. Now select the Face e-KYC option.
6. Scan your face as soon as the camera opens.
7. Upon submission, e-KYC will be completed within a few seconds.
How to check if e-KYC was successful?
- If you want to check if the process was successful, log in to the app again.
- Enter your location and Aadhaar number.
- After entering the OTP, your status will be displayed on the screen.
- If Status: Y appears, your e-KYC is successful.
- If Status: N appears, it means your verification is not yet complete.
