We will see step by step details about how to do the same here.

How to Add/Delete Names in the Ration Card

We need to add new names to ration card in case of new born baby (you will need to get birth certificate in this case) and after marriage (usually the name of the wife).

We need to delete names from ration cards in case of death (death certificate required) and in case of marriage where the name of the bride needs to be removed from the current ration card.

You can make any of the above changes using this guide:

• Download the application form: English, Hindi

• Fill in all the details asked in application form

• Submit the duly filled application form along with proofs/certificates like Voter ID Card, Aadhar Card (identity verification basically) and some residence proof• In case you are applying for changing the ration card address then you need to submit deletion/surrender certificate of previous location also (this certificate need to be issued by the competent authority)

• Once you have filled the application form correctly and have attached all other required documents, you can submit it to ration card authorities to get the receipt/acknowledgment number (you can use this number to track live status of your amended rashan card)

In case you have applied for addition of name in the ration card then it can be done on the same day (very probably) but for all other cases it may take up to a complete week for making the changes and issuing amended ration card.
