New Ration Card rules to avoid legal action

jaspreet1991

The central government began providing free rations to low-income families during the Corona pandemic, but the government has discovered that many ration cardholders are not eligible and are taking advantage of the free rations. Simultaneously, many cardholders who are eligible for the scheme are not receiving the benefit.


The government has instructed ineligible individuals to surrender their ration cards immediately. According to reports, if an ineligible person does not surrender his ration card, he will face legal action following an investigation.

Citizens who live below the poverty line and earn less than Rs. 10,000 per year are issued BPL cards.


Who is required to surrender his or her Ration card?

If an individual owns a plot larger than 100 square metres, a flat or house, a four-wheeler car or tractor, and a family income greater than two lakhs in the village and three lakhs in the city, he or she should obtain a ration card from the Tehsil and D.S.O. office.



Eligibility Yellow Ration Cards (Maharashtra)

* Families earning up to Rs. 15,000/- per annum

* No family member should be a physician, lawyer, architect, or chartered accountant. None of the family members should be professional taxpayers, sales tax collectors, or income tax collectors, or otherwise liable to pay such taxes.
