Civil Supplies Department has issued a notification clarifying how final off-line correction can be done by each applicant. Citizens to take care of the mistakes made by data entry workers???.

In earlier statement, they said online correction won't be considered since offline facility provided. Now they again corrected their statement online correction also be taken for final consideration.
Those who already submitted corrections through online facility, need not do the offline correction.

Who Can Collect Draft Print Out of Ration Card Renewal Data Sheet?
Card Holder (applicant), Any ration card member except minors or person who has appointed as representative of the card holder (ie., an authorization letter from card holder to be produced).
Final Thought
It is better to get draft application from ration shop for verification and correction even if you have submitted corrections online. After verification and correction of your ration card details, take a photocopy as your evidence, because nobody can predict what these (b***)errs will do in the next step.
There's no consistency, no clarity, no idea how to do the responsibilities. Poor citizens! Poor voters!! Poor Tax payers!!!
