Srinagar, July 29: The ration card is a vital document for people coming under the BPL category. The government provides rations to the beneficiaries at a very low price. However, today, a ration card is considered an essential legal document just like the Aadhar card.
People get ration distribution based on the information entered on the ration card. A ration card is also considered identity proof.
The ration card has become mandatory to get several other government benefits, which is why it has become a very important document. The names of the members of the family are included on the ration card.
