โ“ Common questions

Is there one national form for ration card correction?+

No. Ration cards are issued by each state, so the form and portal differ. For example, West Bengal uses Form 5 and Gujarat uses Form 6-A.

What proof do I need?+

Your Aadhaar with the correct name is the mandatory proof in every state, along with your existing ration card.

Why do ration card corrections get rejected?+

The most common reasons are a blurry document upload and a name that does not match Aadhaar exactly, even by one letter.
