Has your ration card become old or torn, or do you find it inconvenient to carry a photocopy every time? There is no need to worry anymore. Thanks to government digital services, you can download a digital ration card—complete with your photograph—directly from your mobile phone or laptop.

This digital copy is valid for various government procedures, and you can easily print it out whenever needed. While there are several platforms available for downloading the digital ration card, DigiLocker, the UMANG app, and the Food and Civil Supplies Department portal of your respective state government are particularly helpful for this purpose.
