Ration Card e-KYC deadline set for November 10; failure to complete process may lead to cancellation of benefits

The Department of Food, Civil Supplies, and Consumer Affairs issued a strict warning to ration cardholders regarding e-KYC. Officials clarified that November 10, 2026, is the final date to complete the ration card e-KYC process, and this deadline will not be extended. Failure to complete the process for the remaining 41.33 lakh beneficiaries by the stipulated date may lead to the cancellation or suspension of their names. Not only will the free ration stop, but the cash transfer for the government's Gruhalakshmi and Annabhagya schemes will also be reduced.
