Bhubaneswar: The Odisha government has again extended the deadline for updating the e-KYC for ration card beneficiaries till February 15.
Giving this information on Thursday, Food Supplies and Consumer Welfare Minister Krushna Chandra Patra said around 39 lakh beneficiaries in the state are yet to complete their e-KYC update.
While 2.95 crore persons residing in Odisha have successfully updated their e-KYC details so far, around 1.32 lakh people living outside the state have completed the process, Patra said.
Earlier, the deadline for e-KYC update was January 31. The ration cards of the beneficiaries who fail to complete e-KYC will be cancelled, Patra had said.
Beneficiaries have been requested to complete their e-KYC at local Electronic Public Service (EPS) outlets or ration distribution centres. The minister also said that new ration cards will be issued after all eligible beneficiaries under the Public Distribution System (PDS) complete the e-KYC process.
To facilitate the process, government officials have been directed to assist beneficiaries living in Odisha and Odias currently residing in other states.
