Special e-KYC Drive until July 15 to Ensure Ration Distribution Only to Eligible Beneficiaries

To ensure that only genuine and eligible beneficiaries receive ration under the National Food Security Act (NFSA), the Madhya Pradesh government has launched a special e-KYC verification campaign from July 1 to July 15, 2025.
State Minister for Food, Civil Supplies and Consumer Protection, Shri Govind Singh Rajput, stated that the campaign aims to complete the pending e-KYC of remaining beneficiaries. Simultaneously, the names of deceased, ineligible, or non-existent individuals will be removed from the beneficiary lists after field verification.

Door-to-Door Verification:

District collectors have been instructed to assign ward in-charges, panchayat secretaries, and employment assistants for door-to-door verification. Lists of individuals who have not completed e-KYC will be displayed at fair price shops, gram panchayat offices, and ward offices to ensure public transparency.

e-KYC Through App or Fair Price Shops:

1. Eligible beneficiaries can complete their e-KYC by either:
2. Visiting the nearest fair price shop, or
3. Using the “Mera Ration” mobile app via facial authentication.
4. In cases where Aadhaar details such as name, mobile number, or biometric data are incorrect or outdated, beneficiaries are advised to visit Aadhaar enrollment centers to update their records.
5. Upon successful e-KYC, ration distribution will be resumed according to the beneficiary’s entitlement.

Ineligible Beneficiaries to Be Removed:

Minister Rajput emphasized that those who fail to complete e-KYC within the campaign period will be presumed either non-existent, permanently migrated, or not in need have ration. Accordingly, their names will be considered for deletion from the official ration list.

Monitoring and Grievance Redressal:

1. Controls rooms will be set up at both district and block levels.
2. Verification teams will be required to report daily progress.
3. Any issues faced during e-KYC will be resolved promptly at the local level.
4. Local elected representatives will be informed and involved in the verification campaign.
