Initially, the government had set Monday, August 21, as the deadline for individuals to update their Know Your Customer (KYC) details linked to their ration cards. However, in response to the public's request for additional time and to address server-related issues, the government has decided to offer an extended timeline.
Gangwar explained, "In light of the server problem and to ensure that citizens have ample opportunity to make the necessary updates, the deadline will be extended in phases." This approach is aimed at providing citizens with a smoother and more efficient process for updating their information. The updates can be made either online or at a nearby fair price shop, giving citizens the flexibility to choose the mode that suits them best.
