How to apply for Ration Card if I don’t have valid address proof?
It is an iterative question that I hear from most of the people. How one can apply for Rasan Card without having the residence proof? If you are also in same dilemma then no need to worry.
In case you don’t have the address proof then you have the option to make written request to Rashan Card issuing authority/office (Food Supply Office in your District). They will consider your request and will enquire about your mentioned address in mean time.
In case they ask for bribery or don’t listen to your request then you have the option to raise complains to higher authoritative bodies like SDM, DC, Commissioner or any other Government body that controls such corruption cases.
Please don’t pay anything in term of bribery. Good Luck!
