A ration card is a food allotment card provided by the government of India to the residents of the county to provide food grains and other materials of necessity at a lower cost. This facility and scheme are beneficial to people with lower income or otherwise.
The ration card is not only beneficial in getting food essentials at a lower cost, but it also serves as an essential document in the application process in many government schemes.
Phone numbers linked to the ration cards are the primary identification system. The phone number is used to identify the identity of the owner of the card and immediate family members. In case the number linked to the number is invalid or no longer in service many problems can arise out of the cardholder.
In case the cardholder has lost the phone or the sim card is not in service, the process of application and number update is done through the online portal of the National Food Security.
The Process

All websites have different formats and designs. The website portal is different, and therefore the cardholder needs to visit the National Food Security website of the respective states.
