Not only is a ration card required to receive rations, but it can also be utilised like an Aadhaar card. A ration card serves as both an identity card and a proof of residency. In addition, it is utilised for the use of Aadhaar Cards, Voter ID Cards, creating Bank Accounts, and PM Kisan Yojana Applications. Only those citizens who qualify receive a ration card, not all Indian nationals.

Before, people had to go to the offices to get their ration cards made, but today, every state offers its citizens the option to create their ration cards online. You can do this by going to the state's Department of Food, Supplies, and Consumer Affairs' official website.
