The Delhi government has made e-KYC mandatory for ration card holders. Those who complete the process can avail benefits like ₹2500 under the Mahila Samriddhi Yojana. However, many people are facing a big problem—OTP for e-KYC is sent to the Aadhaar-linked mobile number, and some have either forgotten or lost that number.
If you are also struggling with this issue, don’t worry! There’s a simple way to find your Aadhaar-linked number and update it if needed. Follow this step-by-step guide to update your mobile number and complete the ration card e-KYC process.
Find Out Which Mobile Number is Linked to Aadhaar
