Introduction : Ration card is a certificate issued by Indian government to families that are not rich. People who have a ration card on their name can take necessary commodities like rice, wheat, sugar and kerosene in a subsidized price from local dealers. A ration card also serves as an essential identification certificate for individuals. The eligibility of candidate to have ration card is determined by estimation of their properties and wealth. Although there is a process, still there are many deserving candidates who don’t have a ration card. People who lawfully deserve to have their name registered in ration card but by some reason their name actually haven’t got registered, should take advantage of the online procedure to add new member set up by the government.

Conclusion:-
It is difficult for the government to provide a ration card to all deserving candidates at once because of the massive number of below poverty line people living in India. The central government of India has distributed the ration card management power of every state to its government. By such distribution, the offline process to add a new member in the ration card varies from state to state. But the online name addition procedure of all states is quite similar. If anyone doesn’t have ration card and he/she thinks that they have proof so that their name deserves to be in ration card all he has to do is follow all the steps mentioned above.
