The Uttar Pradesh government has made it mandatory for all ration card holders to get eKYC done to avail the free grain scheme. If you have any problem, you can contact your PDS dealer or shop, and if needed, you can also seek help from the district supply office.
Why is eKYC necessary?
The purpose of the eKYC (Know Your Customer) process is to ensure the correct identification of ration card holders and eliminate fake ration cards. Through this, only those people will be able to benefit who are eligible, and those who have fake ration cards in their name will be eliminated.
During eKYC, ration card holders will have to match their name, date of birth, etc. with Aadhaar data. For this, Aadhaar card, ration card, mobile number linked to Aadhaar and email ID if available will be required. If a beneficiary lives in another state, he can also get eKYC done there through ration card number.

During this time, e-POS machines at fair price shops will remain open from 6 am to 9 pm. Eligible household ration card holders will get 2.3 kg wheat and 2.7 kg rice every month, while Antyodaya card holders will get 17 kg wheat and 18 kg rice (total 35 kg foodgrains). Ration distribution will be done through e-POS machines, and if a beneficiary is unable to get ration through Aadhaar authentication, then he will be given ration through mobile OTP.
