**Jaipur, Rajasthan** – The Rajasthan government has removed lakhs of individuals from the National Food Security Scheme (NFSS), leaving them ineligible for subsidized food rations. The mass removal is attributed to discrepancies in eligibility criteria, with many individuals failing to meet the required qualifications.
According to official sources, the primary reasons for removal include incomplete or inaccurate documentation, such as missing Aadhaar linking or other identity verification issues. A significant number of those removed failed to complete the mandatory e-KYC process.
The NFSS provides subsidized essential commodities such as wheat, rice, cooking gas, and kerosene to eligible beneficiaries. The removal from the scheme means affected individuals will lose access to these heavily discounted or free provisions, including the government subsidy on gas cylinders, currently valued at ₹450.
The Rajasthan government urges those who have been removed from the NFSS to verify their eligibility and complete the necessary documentation, including e-KYC, to reinstate their benefits. Citizens are advised to check their status through official channels. The government is yet to release a precise figure of those affected.
