The Telangana Civil Supplies Department has issued a fresh mandate for all Food Security Card (Ration Card) holders to complete their e-KYC (Electronic Know Your Customer) verification. This step is essential to ensure that government subsidies reach the rightful beneficiaries and to eliminate ghost cards from the system.
Important Deadlines: As per recent notifications, cardholders who fail to complete the e-KYC process by the stipulated date (check your local dealer for specific district deadlines) may face a temporary suspension of their monthly ration supply.
How to Complete your e-KYC:
Visit Nearest Ration Shop: All family members listed on the card must visit the Fair Price Shop (FPS) in person.
Biometric Authentication: Provide your fingerprints on the e-POS machine for verification.
Check Online Status: Beneficiaries can track their status on the EPDS Telangana portal using their FSC reference number.
Documentation Required:
Original Aadhaar Card of all family members.
Existing Food Security Card (Ration Card).
Completing this process is vital for continued access to subsidized rice and other essential commodities under the National Food Security Act (NFSA).
