Port Blair, Mar. 7: This is in continuation with the earlier press release dated 15.12.2023 wherein, the Department has extended the last date for doing e-KYC for FIC holders upto 31st March. Since, there are many left out FIC holders as per our data who have not completed the process of doing e-KYC, it is decided to extend the last date for doing e-KYC till 31st March, 2024 as a last and final opportunity. No further extension will be given for doing e-KYC after the stipulated date.
Hence, all the left out Ration Card beneficiaries (APL/PHH & AAY) who have not yet completed their e-KYC due to any reason are once again requested to contact any of their nearest Fair Price Shop along with their Aadhaar numbers to get e-KYC done for all the members listed in the Ration Card.
Further, the Ration Card beneficiaries can also approach the Directorate of CS&CA, Port Blair at Room No. 20 or their respective Supply Units for completing their e-KYC.
It is also reported that some of the beneficiaries are not able to complete their e-KYC as the device is unable to read their finger prints due to old age, or any other reason. All such beneficiaries have been requested to get their Aadhaar biometric updated at the Aadhaar Enrolment Center in Directorate of Civil Supplies & Consumer Affair, Port Blair or any Aadhaar Enrolment Center in their respective tehsils.
