BPL cards are issued by state governments in India under the THE NATIONAL FOOD SECURITY ACT, 2013 (NFSA). Most state governments have digitised the process of applying and amending ration cards and the status of your request can be viewed online depending on which state you are from and what website your state uses for the purposes of ration cards and food security. Additionally, in case you are unable to access the website, we request you to visit your district’s Food Inspector’s office or the District Grievance Redressal Officer.

राशन कार्ड को अपने क्षेत्र के कॉमन सर्विस सेंटर पर जाकर अपडेट किया जा सकता है या फिर इसे ऑनलाइन भी किया जा सकता है। अपने संबंधित राज्य के खाद्य विभाग की वेबसाइट पर जाएं। राशन कार्ड अपडेट फॉर्म खोजें और संबंधित विवरण भरें। आवश्यक दस्तावेज जैसे पहचान प्रमाण, पता प्रमाण और पासपोर्ट आकार की तस्वीरें अपलोड करें। सहायक दस्तावेजों के साथ फॉर्म जमा करें। अधिकारी तब विवरण सत्यापित करेंगे और एक बार सत्यापन पूरा हो जाने पर, आपको डिजिटल या भौतिक रूप से एक अद्यतन राशन कार्ड प्राप्त होगा। यदि आपने ऑनलाइन आवेदन किया है तो आप अपने आवेदन की स्थिति को भी ट्रैक कर सकते हैं।
