Aadhaar-Ration Card Link : The Modi government has given a big relief to crores of people of the country. Even if you have not linked your ration card to Aadhaar, you will still get free ration. The government has extended the last date for linking Aadhaar to ration card or food subsidy account. The Ministry of Consumer Affairs, Food and Public Distribution said this on Wednesday. The new deadline for linking these two documents is now 30 September. Earlier this deadline was 30 June. The government has extended this deadline several times before.
Why is it necessary to link Aadhaar with ration card?
The ministry is planning to stop corruption and irregularities in this scheme by linking Aadhaar to ration card. By linking both the documents, it will be easier for the government to ensure that all the needy people get their share of grains.
What will happen if the link is not done?
Beneficiaries are being encouraged to link their ration cards with Aadhaar cards by the new deadline so that they can continue to get ration without any hindrance. You can link your Aadhaar with ration card by visiting your nearest ration shop or Common Service Center (CSC). Or you can also link them through the online portal.
