TNPDS Smart Ration Card

There are around 5,80,298 ration card holders in Tamil Nadu. Ration card holders have requested the Tamil Nadu government to convert their Chinese option family card to rice option card. Tamil Nadu government has decided to accede to this request of the people and convert the family card with sugar substitute to rice substitute ration card. So all those citizens of Tamil Nadu who had earlier opted for sugar can now opt for rice.

For this purpose, cardholders have to download the application form from the official portal and submit it to the local authority between 5th December 2020 to 20th December 2020.

All those candidates who will submit the application must attach all the important documents along with the photocopy of the existing ration card.

Last year in November 2019, the Tamil Nadu government made a similar statement asking citizens to change their ration cards. At that time a large number of cardholders had also submitted an application to change their ration card.
