The Finance Ministry spokesperson says about 800,000 holders of the 2026 State Welfare Card have not completed electronic identity verification (e-KYC). The Interior Ministry will go to the areas with verification equipment, and the 2026 benefits are expected to be usable from 1 October. For a small business, this matters if staff or customers in your area hold these cards: help them complete e-KYC before October. The article also flags that some people were used as "mule" account holders, so do not let anyone open accounts or sign documents on your behalf for pay. The energy-transition loan scheme is expected in August, with the medium-term fiscal plan revised in November-December.
