I am the head of the family. I am 63 years old eldest male member. The only female member of my family is my daughter in law who is 29 years old. She is refusing to be the owner of the card on the pretext that she is much younger than me and also that she doesn't want to be responsible for the information given in the card and that she doesn't want to be prosecuted if any of such information is wrong. I have therefore filled my application on my name.

Only issue comes if you falls under "Priority" Category. Otherwise there is no problem at all. Camp officials may ask a consent letter from your daughter-in-law.

You can get your raion card renewal through TSO / DSO as a normal procedure. There will be notification from Deaprtment for those who are unable to attend the campaign. In this case you have to personally visit the TSO / DSO after getting appointment with officials. More details can be had from your DSO / TSO.

There were separate photo sessions for those who could not attend in the main campaign - one in your locality itself and after that concerned TSO/DSO offices. Your ration card may not be issued until you appeared for photo session. Better contact your TSO/DSO immediately for further information.

I WANT TO INCUDE MY SONS NAME IN THE RATION CARD. WHICH I GOT IT CANCELLED DUE HE HAS BEEN SHIFTED TO BANGALORE. WHAT IS THE PROCUDERE TO INCLUDE HIS NAME IN THE RATION CARD.

Submitted by Stanly Chirayath on Tue, 25/08/2015 - 16:31

After received new ration card, you can apply for inclusion of your son's name. The facility is currently frozen but you can give a hint to officials if you want. Utilize accuracy verification website and submit a request for it.

Try this way:

If he has been permanently shifted to your place, make a request in the correction box specifying "Inclusion of Son's Name: Name, Name (English)" etc. as order given in the second page and submit.

Don't think that the procedure has been completed. It will be an intimation to the officials. Correction doesn't mean inclusion of new name. Its a little bit lengthy procedure.

The last date for online ration card correction is extended up to September 20,2015. So you are not late but better don’t keep it for the last moment.

What are the different ration beneficiary categories as per the new food security laws?
What does the SS type of ration card mean?

Submitted by Stanly Chirayath on Sat, 07/01/2017 - 12:38

Ration Card categories as per NFSA:

AAY
AY
Priority
Non-priority
State priority

I couldn't find SS in NFSA. If it is S, it would be State priority.

You can make an application to your TSO / DSO / CRO for canceling existing ration card due to misuse or lost reasons. If they accept, new application can be given to issue fresh or duplicate ration card.
