If you also have a ration card and you are taking advantage of the Government Ration Scheme, then this news is very important for you and you should pay immediate attention to it. A large number of ration cards are being canceled across the country, and the biggest reason for this is a small but important lapse – Not linking the ration card with Aadhaar and not completing EKYC.
Why are ration cards being canceled? Improve this mistake immediately!
The Food Department and the government are strict on all the ration card holders who have not linked their ration cards with their Aadhaar cards or who have not completed their Electronic No Your Customer (EKYC) process. Card holders whose EKYC pending is being warned to complete it as soon as possible. If this work is not done on time, your ration card will be declared invalid and you will be deprived of the benefits of free or subsidized ration.
Your ration card may also be canceled due to these reasons:
Not only EKYC, your ration card can also be canceled for some other reasons:
-
Lack of Aadhaar (main reason): If the ration card of any member of your family is still not linked to Aadhaar, then the name of that member will be removed from the ration list, and if no one is there then the entire card can be canceled.
-
Duplicate Ration Card: If you have active ration cards in two different states or cities.
-
Information discrepancy: Ration card information and Aadhaar card information (eg name or address) when there is a big difference.
-
Not removing the name of the dead members: If the names of family members who have died in your ration card are still recorded and have not been removed.
-
Not taking regular ration: If you are not taking your share from your ration dealer for several consecutive months, it can be assumed that you do not need ration.
-
To take advantage despite being ineligible: If you have made a ration card even without fulfilling income related criteria or other qualification conditions.
What will be the loss due to cancellation of ration card?
If your ration card is canceled, then all the government ration like wheat, rice, pulses etc. will be closed. This can be a major setback for families that depend on these plans for their food needs.
What to do now? Do this work immediately!
To avoid cancellation of ration cards and continue the benefit of free ration, you have to get your EKYC done as soon as possible.
-
Where to do: Visit your nearest ration dealer shop or to a Common Service Center (CSC).
-
What to take along: Your Aadhaar card and ration card.
-
Process: You have to complete the EKYC process by scanning your fingerprint or iris on the biometric device near the dealer or CSC operator.
The government wants to ensure that the benefits of the schemes reach only eligible and right persons. Therefore, to avoid any problem, do not delay at all in linking your ration card to Aadhaar and completing EKYC. Also check your eligibility and if any information is wrong, then get it corrected.
