The Indian government has a bunch of schemes that offer different kinds of benefits. Some of these provide financial aid, while others give out goods. Right now, millions of people are benefiting from these government programs. If you qualify for any of them, you should definitely consider signing up. One notable scheme is the Antyodaya Yojana, which is managed by the Central Government.

 

This scheme helps eligible individuals get ration cards, allowing them to receive free rations. Each month, the government supplies free rations for every family member listed on the card.

 

However, it’s not uncommon for names to get removed from these ration cards. If your name has been taken off, don’t worry—you can have it added back. Let’s go over how to do that!

 

To find out if your name has been removed from the ration card, follow these steps:

 

Step One

 

1. The ration card list is periodically updated, and names of inactive individuals may be removed during this process.

 

2. To check if your name is still on the ration card, visit the official website at nfsa.gov.in/Default.aspx.

 

Step Two

 

1. Once on the website, you will see several options; click on the ‘Ration Card’ option.

2. Next, select ‘Ration Card Details On State Portals.’

3. You will need to choose your state, district, block, and Panchayat.

 

Step Three

 

1. After making your selections, pick the name of your ration shop.

 

2. Then, select the name of the ration dealer (shopkeeper) and the type of ration you receive.

 

3. A list will then appear, and you should look for your name.

 

4. If your name is not listed, it indicates that it has been removed from the ration card.

 

If your name has been removed, here’s how you can add it back:

 

1. Don’t worry if your name is missing from the ration card; you can easily have it reinstated.

 

2. To do this, visit your local food supply department.

 

3. Once there, request the name registration form and complete it.

 

4. After that, attach the necessary documents and hand them over to the appropriate officer, and your name will be added.
