How to update Ration card KYC online and offline

Ration cards are crucial for accessing subsidized food and government benefits. Millions of beneficiaries rely on ration shops for essential commodities. They are also necessary for receiving festival packages and disaster relief.

Fraudulent ration cards and black market sales of subsidized goods hinder the reach of government aid to the truly needy. KYC updates aim to address these issues and ensure benefits reach the intended recipients.

KYC involves submitting identification documents like Aadhaar, mobile number, and address proof online or at ration shops. The deadline has been extended to December 31st to facilitate maximum participation.

Due to the large number of beneficiaries yet to update their ration cards, the deadline has been extended. This measure aims to remove fake and deceased entries and ensure accurate beneficiary data.

Update your ration card KYC online using the official website https://tnpds.gov.in/ or https://nfsa.gov.in/sso/frmPublicLogin.aspx. Aadhaar and ration card details are required for the process.

For offline KYC, visit your nearest ration shop with your Aadhaar and ration card. A simple fingerprint scan completes the update process quickly and efficiently.
