Especially those eligible beneficiaries who have done e-KYC and are yet to get the benefits of the scheme, such beneficiaries are given one more opportunity to correct their e-KYC information, she said.
In the above context, the facility to make corrections in e-KYC has been made available through the online portal till March 31, 2026, Tatkare added.
She further said, Providing benefits of the scheme to all eligible beneficiaries is the authentic role of the Women and Child Development Department. Therefore, if any mistake has been made in the e-KYC process of the boys and sisters, it is a humble request to them to correct it before time.
