Special e-KYC Camp Held at Fair Price Shops Across Tamil Nadu on September 26
A special e-KYC biometric verification camp will be held on September 26 at all fair price shops in Tamil Nadu, including Erode district, to complete Aadhaar-based authentication for public distribution scheme beneficiaries. The initiative aims to achieve 100% e-KYC coverage among family cardholders, following ongoing drives since October 2023 that have reached over 96% completion. Beneficiaries who have not yet completed the process are urged to visit their respective ration shops during the camp hours to update their registration.
