Ration card is an official document issued by the Government of India that entitles the holder to purchase subsidized food grains and other essential commodities from fair price shops. Ration cards are issued to families below the poverty line (BPL) and other eligible households.
In Karnataka, ration cards are issued by the Department of Food and Civil Supplies. To apply for a ration card, eligible households must submit an application form along with the required documents. The application form can be obtained from the nearest fair price shop or the office of the Department of Food and Civil Supplies.
