Ration Card Rules: Various schemes are run by the Central and State Governments to help poor families. The Modi government and various state governments are also providing food grains to the poor through ration cards. Recently, the Modi government at the Center has ordered to provide a free ration till January 1, 2024, under the Pradhan Mantri Garib Kalyan Anna Yojana (PMGKAY). Apart from this, ration card holders are getting ration at the subsidy rate in almost all the states.

Facility to get food grains for free
A ration card is issued by each state government to the residents of the state. Only through ration cards, people can get food grains at a low cost or for free. It has also been seen many times that the farmers are reluctant to give ration or give less ration. Due to this, the poor have to face trouble. But if you face any such problem, then the government has issued helpline numbers for that.

The dealer's license may be suspended
These helplines are completely toll-free. You can call on these numbers in case of any kind of problem-related to ration. This complaint should be made through the ration card holder only. The investigation will be done upon receipt of the complaint. If your allegation is found true then the license of the dealer can also be suspended. According to each state, the government has issued different toll-free numbers. You can register a complaint by calling according to your state.
