<h1>Centre requests state to recheck beneficiaries under NFSA 2013; confirms 1.41 crore will keep receiving food grains</h1> The central government states it has not removed any beneficiary from the approved 1.41 crore under the National Food Security Act (NFSA) in the state but requested the state government to recheck beneficiaries against its inclusion criteria to ensure deserving claimants receive benefits; this request follows a Supreme Court-mandated mandatory eKYC process and multiple deadline extensions. Under NFSA 2013 the state is legally responsible for identifying eligible beneficiaries, while the centre's role is limited to requesting verification; the centre affirms all 1.41 crore beneficiaries will continue to receive food grains.
