The Government of India has made e-KYC mandatory for ration card holders to bring transparency and efficiency in the ration distribution system. Under this process, every beneficiary will have to get identity verification by linking his ration card to Aadhaar. Its purpose is to ensure that only eligible people take advantage of this facility and no fraud or duplicate card can be used.
