What is a Haryana ration card and what are its types?
Through a ration card, eligible families get foodgrains under the Public Distribution System (PDS). Information about ration cards and BPL families is given on the Food Department’s website, which mentions the BPL and Antyodaya (AAY) categories. PDS in Haryana is run under the National Food Security Act (NFSA) 2013, and the department’s website also gives a link for an online ration card for this. A card’s category and eligibility depend on the department’s rules, so confirm your category only from the official record.
You should check your ration card and the information linked to it from time to time, so that any mistake related to the name, family members or depot comes to light in time.
How to check ration card status?
Follow the official route to check ration card status:
- Open the Food Department’s official website haryanafood.gov.in.
