The process of applying for a ration card across the various Indian States.

The process of applying for a ration card, whether digital or otherwise, changes based on the Indian state that an applicant is applying from. Each state has their own systems but the basic foundation and structure are quite constant.

 

Initially, the process of getting a ration card was tedious where applicants traveled to the office and purchased application forms. They then had to fill them out, gather the supporting documentation and submit everything while paying a small fee. They would have to make a third trip in about a month to see if their ration card were ready to be picked up.

 

This process changed for the better with different states uploading application forms on their official ration card websites. This saved time and allowed people to begin gathering all the information they needed at their leisure. They would then have to pay their fee at the office, along with the applications and forms. This was the peak of digitization for some states, while others pushed for an even better system.

Applicants then received it at their doorstep, through the Indian postal system.
