<h1>e-KYC verification urged to clean beneficiary data after Centre denies deletions and affirms allocations under NFSA promptly.</h1> The Centre denies directing deletion of any NFSA beneficiaries in Punjab and confirms foodgrain allocations remain unchanged. It states its communications were to implement court-directed e-KYC and to urge states to recheck beneficiaries so that ineligible names are removed and deserving poor are included. The Centre says beneficiary identification is a state responsibility, reports many doubtful entries and potential diversion, and has granted extensions for e-KYC completion while asking Punjab to clean its data.
