How do I do ration card e-KYC in Karnataka?
Take your ration card and Aadhaar details with you. Our ration card guide explains the papers in full.
- Go to your local fair price shop, where the work is done on the AHARA software.
- Or use the Anna Seva mobile app, now available in all 31 districts.
- If the app is already on your phone, update it from the Google Play Store first.
Can I do ration card e-KYC from another state?
Yes. The reports say the Anna Seva app is now open across India, so Karnataka cardholders who work or live in other states can complete e-KYC from where they are, without travelling home.
What happens if I miss the 10 November date?
The department warns of action under the rules. The reports say possible results are delays in free ration and cancellation of the ration card. We could not find an official line on whether the date will be extended again, so do not wait.
If you miss it, go to your fair price shop or your taluk food office as soon as possible and ask what to do.
Do I need Aadhaar changes before e-KYC?
Your Aadhaar details must match what is on the ration card. If your name or mobile number is wrong, fix it first with our Aadhaar update guide. For the new face check rule in other states, see our ration card face authentication update.
