Governments run many schemes so that benefits can reach every needy and poor section. The benefits of these schemes are given from cities to rural areas. For example, through ration cards, the facility of free and cheap ration is given to the people by the government. Ration cards like BPL and APL etc. are made for people, through which people get these benefits. But the ration card is not only useful for getting cheap or free ration, but it has many other functions as well. At the same time, it is also important for you to link your mobile number with it as well so that you can get continuous updates. So let's know what is the way to update the mobile number. You can learn more about this...

Generally, the problem with the cardholders is that the mobile number they give at the time of making the ration card gets switched off later due to some reasons. At the same time, many people have not got their mobile numbers linked to their ration cards. In such a situation, you can get your mobile number updated online by sitting at home.

You can update your mobile number in this way:-
Step 1

If you also want to link a new number with your ration card, then you will have to visit the official website of the Food and Civil Supplies Department of your state.
Like- If you are a resident of Delhi, then you can visit this official link nfs.delhi.gov.in/Citizen/UpdateMobileNumber.aspx

Step 2
Then a new page will open in front of you
Where you will get the option of 'Update your registered mobile
You have to click on it and then you have to fill in the requested information

Step 3
Then you have to fill in your 12 digit Aadhaar number and full name
Now enter the mobile number which you want to update
After this click on submit and then your mobile number gets linked to the ration card.
