Jan Dhan Account Holder Alert: Complete Re-KYC by Sept 30 or Risk Losing Subsidies & Access; Check All Details

As per government directive, all Jan Dhan account holders must complete the mandatory re-KYC process by September 30. This applies to accounts opened under the Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana (PMJDY) between 2014 and 2015, as the original KYC validity is 10 years. Completing re-KYC is essential to keep the account active and compliant with RBI regulations.

What is Re-KYC?

Re-KYC requires updating key personal details, including name, address and photograph.

This process ensures that the Jan Dhan account will stay operative, prevents fraud, and guarantees uninterrupted access to banking services and government benefits. Accounts without updated KYC will become inoperative, restricting withdrawals, deposits, and government subsidy transfers until the KYC is updated.
