Telangana Ration e-KYC: Fine Rice Won't Stop, But Don't Delay!

• Telangana government clarifies e-KYC is mandatory for ration beneficiaries, but there's no deadline.
• Crucially, fine rice distribution will continue even if e-KYC is not yet completed.
• e-KYC is vital for linking to other state and central schemes, and the Centre may eventually mandate it for ration.
• Only 40% of Telangana beneficiaries have completed e-KYC, facing issues with fingerprint registration and old e-Pass machines.
• Beneficiaries should not tolerate dealers withholding rice due to incomplete e-KYC; complete it eventually to avoid future problems.

Why It Matters: Telangana assures fine rice despite pending e-KYC, but urges completion for future scheme benefits.
