e-KYC — Important Current Update

TNPDS official homepage currently AAY / PHH family-card membersக்கு e-KYC completion பற்றி notice display செய்கிறது.

Family members தாங்கள் வசிக்கும் ஊரிலோ அல்லது வெளியூரில் இருந்தால் அருகிலுள்ள Fair Price Shop-லோ fingerprint / iris verification மூலம் e-KYC complete செய்யலாம் என்று current official notice குறிப்பிடுகிறது.
