Ration cardholders receiving benefits of free ration can access this service through the Government of India if they fall below the poverty line. People who possess ration cards are the only ones eligible to receive benefits from this program. A fresh policy concerning ration cards stems from the central government. The requirement of e-KYC implementation has become a necessary step for all individuals owning a ration card. The government states that ration cards will be eliminated after the advised e-KYC deadline passes thus denying all related benefits including free ration.
The widespread e-KYC fraud has triggered many individuals to receive unlawful fees from ration card holders seeking e-KYC services. The price to complete e-KYC should be revealed to avoid ration card scam occurrences. The e-KYC of ration card rules created an opportunity for scammers to start their fraudulent activities. A significant number of cases show how cybercriminals contact people to complete e-KYC on the Internet. Failure to comply with the e-KYC process will make their ration card eligible for deletion. Numerous ration card holders experience fraud because they become victims of these cyber criminals through their fraudulent schemes. Ration card holders receive a fraud link through online e-KYC in the name of which scammers can drain the account funds when users click the link.
