As per the notification issued by the Department of Food and Public Distribution, this date has been extended to 30 September 2023.
Recently, several pictures of irregularities with ration cards have come to the fore. For example, there are many cases of complaints that a person is taking more ration than he is entitled to. Even if a person is not eligible for a ration card, he may be taking ration for years. Due to this irregularity, there are instances where eligible persons are not able to take ration. Linking of ration card with Aadhaar has been made mandatory by the Center to stop this irregularity.
If Aadhaar card is linked with ration card, it will be easy to identify the people who are getting ration. It is also possible to detain those who are ineligible to collect rations because their incomes have increased so much. As a result, only those who need it will get ration. Besides, there are allegations that many ration card holders are now dead, food items are being distributed on such ration cards as well. Fingerprinting is mandatory for Aadhaar-Ration Card Linking. As a result of which it will be possible to cancel the ration cards of the dead people.
It is possible to link Aadhaar and ration card by going to the ration shop. What documents are required to link aadhaar card with ration card?
