Aadhaar-Ration Link: If you want to link a ration card with Aadhaar, just follow these steps, and work will be done in minutes..
The Aadhar card is an important document for us, which is needed in every government and banking work. Similarly, a ration card is used to get government food items, but it can also be used as an identity card. But nowadays fake ration cards are being made. In such a situation, linking a ration card with an Aadhar card can overcome this problem.
Have you not yet linked your Aadhaar to your ration card or food subsidy accounts? So you still have time, you can easily link it by following some steps. Let's know about it.
Why is Aadhaar-ration card linking necessary?
The Government of India has made Aadhaar-ration card linking mandatory to strengthen the Public Distribution System (PDS).
This interlinking helps in eliminating duplicate and fake ration cards, ensuring that subsidized food grains reach the right beneficiaries. This initiative promotes transparency and accountability in PDS.
The deadline for Aadhaar-ration card linking has been extended to September 30, 2024. This gives enough time for those who have not yet completed the process.
