Ration Card Update: The central government is running numerous government schemes to benefit the public. Under these schemes, people are being empowered financially. The government is providing free rations to the general public. This scheme is available only to ration card holders. If you are also facing financial difficulties, you can also avail of the free rations under this scheme. However, under the government’s new rules, only eligible individuals can avail themselves of the free rations.
It should be noted that there are many people in the country who, due to financial constraints, are unable to afford even one meal a day. For such people, the Government of India is providing free rations under the National Food Security Act. However, recently, the government has tightened its grip on ration card holders who are not eligible and are still receiving the benefits of the rations.
These people’s names have been removed
It should be noted that in many places, deceased individuals and their family members were receiving free ration benefits in their names. To prevent this, the government has initiated verification. Following this verification, the names of all ineligible ration card holders are being removed. Over the past few years, the government has removed the names of 2.25 crore people from the free ration scheme.
According to the Ministry, the free ration benefit is only provided to eligible individuals. Therefore, state governments are re-verifying the names of eligible individuals so that only those in need can receive the ration benefits. The investigation revealed that many people obtained ration cards solely to benefit from the government scheme. Some have only been receiving ration benefits for six months. For this reason, the government is considering removing such families from the PDS list.
