Ration Card Online in India

Ration Card process is getting automated in most of the Indian states now. Here we will discuss some of the main aspects of ration card process getting automated. Ration Card in India is a document that every Indian house is supposed to have. It helps government to feed the deserved one’s using various Food and Security schemes. Best thing that I love about food and security scheme is their categorization. Ration Cards are distributed on basis of financial condition of the family and not on the basis of caste system. APL, BPL, Antyodaya are main ration card types that defines the range of particular kind of ration card. You can read more about Ration Car Types from here.

Ration Card Automated process

As I mentioned above ration card automation is being currently used by most of the Indian states (in fact all Indian states and UT’s have dedicated ration card portals where you can find all details online). Few of the states like Delhi, Goa, West Bengal etc have launched complete automated processes for ration card. You don’t need to go to ration card offices for any of the typical work that you usually finish by visiting there and standing in long long queues.

This automation is still in the first phase so it will obviously have some glitches and issues. So please be patient in case you face some glitch now. Officials are trying hard and hopefully they will cover all the glitches/lags very soon. Just for the safer side, I would advise you to visit your nearby Food and Supply office in case you have time or else you can contact them using contact us tab on each of the state’s food and supply web portal. Delhi has just launched e ration card scheme that allows the users to have ration card records directly on the cloud based systems. With e ration card, you don’t need to carry hard copy of original ration card at FPS (fair price shop). All the things will be maintained online. These are few things about ration card automation process in India. Do let me know your views on the same.
