Tamil Nadu Launches Statewide eKYC Drive for NFSA Ration Card Beneficiaries
Tamil Nadu conducts statewide eKYC verification to authenticate National Food Security Act ration card holders, ensuring subsidised food reaches genuine beneficiaries and removing ghost entries.
Why this matters to Tamil Nadu
The public distribution system is a lifeline for millions of Tamil Nadu's low-income families. When subsidised food grains are diverted through ghost beneficiaries, the families who depend most on the system bear the cost. The eKYC drive protects the integrity of this critical welfare system. For eligible ration card holders, completing eKYC on time ensures uninterrupted access to entitled food grains.
