A big change is coming in the ration distribution system of the Indian government. Till now, the common man used to get food grains like rice and wheat from ration shops. Now, a big change is going to come in that system. The center will directly transfer money to the bank instead of rice and wheat. This is what is being heard.

If the new rules are implemented, the ration card holders themselves will decide whether they will take food grains or exchange it for money. The main basis of this new system will be modern technology. In collaboration with SBI, the government has created a special digital voucher called e-rupee.
