Odisha extends ration card eKYC deadline

BHUBANESWAR: With only two weeks left for verification of ration cards under electronic know your customer (eKYC) and more than 30 lakh beneficiaries still not completing the self-authentication, the state government has decided against cancelling the cards abruptly.

March 31 being the last date for eKYC verification, beneficiaries who have neither completed the process nor surrendered their ration cards will get another 15 days till April 15 as the government has decided to conduct a door-to-door survey to find out the status of such people.
