3rd way – If not available on mobile, go directly to your nearest Sarkar Seva Kendra or CSC Center. Just carry Aadhaar Card and Ration Card there. They take your thumb and do KYC in the system instantly. It is a 5 minute job.

One important thing –

Suppose you check on the site and it shows 'Deleted' or Canceled forever, then there is no point in doing KYC. For that you have to apply for a new card. Download Form 14 from MahaFood site and fill it and submit it online. Once you do KYC the card is not activated immediately. The system takes 24 to 48 hours to update the data. So don't do it on the day of the festival, do it now two days before, so that the festival will get both grain and joy ration on time.
