What is Ration Card e-KYC?
Ration Card e-KYC is a process that links your Aadhaar card to your ration card. This helps to streamline the Public Distribution System (PDS) and ensure that benefits reach the intended beneficiaries.
Why is e-KYC Important?
- Reduces Fraud: By linking Aadhaar, it helps to eliminate duplicate or fake ration cards.
- Ensures Accurate Targeting: It ensures that subsidies and benefits reach only eligible households.
- Improves Efficiency: It streamlines the distribution process and reduces administrative burden.
