    Hi leelal,

    It is becoming really difficult. ration card is being asked as a proof for lot of things. pan card has a photo id but no address others have photo id. not id and address. ration card has proof of address.

    There are lot of problems in the voters id card. Veda's grandmother who is 94 , is registered as a 50 year old lady with some other address but her photo. people like me who are part nri, dont get voter's id...

    so ultimately we need the ration card...

    this is from a person's angle....

    Now government, could make the good smart card with all details in the same..it would really help..I am also for it...

    but the govt never does these things perfectly. otherwise,how can it benefit issuing contracts for photo id for the same area for more number of times...

    Though we don't get any of the subsidized items, we are being forced to get a ration card for identification purposes.and the pathetic part is the r ation card processing is still manual....making the wait more bad...

    manju,

    In the gas companies, they ask for ration card, as there has been some discrepancies, in the issue of free cylinder and all...

    all the best .

    hi ramya,

    I think for change of address, before it was done in alandur/one office is there in karuneegar street..don't remember the address.. do check with your ration shop if there is that office there or yours also in tambaram

    regarding two ration cards, if your husband's name has been deleted from FIL's ration card and is there only in your card..it will not be a problem. they will change the address.

    Hi all,

    The news last week is that ration card is must if you want cylinder refills. It looks like the gas agency can ask you to provide a copy anytime.

    And also last heard, a ration card gets only one gas connection so that also adds problem...

    ration card has to be used...atleast to take the sugar...if not used for 3 months, yours becomes invalid..according to the civil supplies.

    now ration card does not come with the whole residence address, you get the street name, and then the pin code...so how is it going to be useful god knows....

    Ration Card - from pune?

    Hi,

    I have forgotten all about ration cards and gas connection!! thanks for the post. We were resident in Pune 4 years ago before coming to USA. Now planning to return to chennai, get the kids admitted in school and rent a place near school.

    Can I transfer the card from Pune ? I dont think either my FIL or my father has our names in the ration cards as they removed all married children from the list a while ago.

    will they issue a fresh card in chennai?
