- Along with the application, the applicant is required to submit the Aadhaar cards of all family members, a photograph of the head of the family, a mobile phone number, bank account details, gas connection details, voter ID card, PAN card, income certificate, and electricity bill to the concerned office.
- In rural areas, the Gram Panchayat Development Officer records the applicant’s name and forwards it with a recommendation to the Food Supply Department for further action. In urban areas, the Food Supply Department conducts an investigation, and if the application is found correct, the details are digitized. The applicant can then contact the District Supply Office within ten days to obtain the ration card.
- If the income of a ration card holder increases, it is the responsibility of the holder to inform the District Supply Officer. In such cases, the individual is removed from the scheme by the department. The District Supply Officer also conducts inspections from time to time, and action for removal is taken even after a proposal is passed by the Gram Panchayat. Additionally, if any third party provides information regarding ineligibility, the department investigates the matter, and if the information is found correct, the ration card of the concerned holder is cancelled.
