Ration Card New Update: Previously, the ration card was considered one of the most important documents, especially before Aadhaar cards became common. This card not only helps provide subsidized rations to the poor but is also essential for availing the benefits of many government schemes. If a new member has joined your family or someone’s name is not on the ration card, there’s no need to worry. You can now easily add them both online and offline.
The necessary documents for adding a new member to the ration card include an income certificate, caste certificate, residence certificate, bank passbook, passport-size photo, and mobile number. If you are adding the name of a new daughter-in-law, her Aadhaar card and marriage certificate will be required. To add a new child’s name, the child’s birth certificate is needed.
