AAY – Antyodaya Anna Yojana: Sabse garib parivaron ke liye. Sabse zyada subsidy milti hai. Yeh un logon ko milta hai jinka koi fixed income source nahi hai.
PHH – Priority Household: National Food Security Act ke tahat normal BPL yaani Below Poverty Line parivaron ke liye. NFSA ke tahat har person ko 5 kg anaaj per month Rs. 1 se 3 per kg ke rate par milta hai. RTI Wiki
NPHH – Non Priority Household: APL yaani Above Poverty Line parivaron ke liye. Isme subsidy kam hoti hai lekin ration card identity document ke roop mein use ho sakta hai.

One Nation One Ration Card – ONORC Kya Hai
ONORC scheme puri India mein lagu ho chuki hai. Iske zariye ration cardholders kisi bhi state ki kisi bhi Fair Price Shop se apna ration le sakte hain. Yeh scheme khaaskar migrant workers aur unke parivaron ke liye bahut faydamand hai. BankBazaar
Ration lene ke liye FPS par biometric authentication yaani fingerprint ya iris scan zaroori hota hai aur sab transactions digitally record hote hain. BankBazaar
Matlab agar aap UP se Delhi kaam karne aaye hain toh bhi aapko UP wapas jaake ration nahi uthana padega. Delhi ki kisi bhi authorized dukaan se le sakte ho.
Common Mistakes Jo Avoid Karni Chahiye
- Ek se zyada ration card banwana – Ek parivaar ke liye sirf ek ration card hota hai. Agar parivaar mein kisi ke paas pehle se card hai toh nayi application reject ho sakti hai
- Galat category choose karna – AAY, PHH aur NPHH ke eligibility criteria alag hain. Galat category choose karne par application reject ya delay ho sakti hai
- Family members ka Aadhaar link na karna – Sabhi family members ka Aadhaar ration card se linked hona zaroori hai tabhi FPS par ration milega
- Verification ke waqt ghar par na rehna – Officer verification ke liye aaye aur aap ghar par na mile toh process ruk jaata hai
- Application number save na karna – Iske bina status track nahi hoga
- Agar application 30 din ke baad bhi pending ho toh RTI file karo – zyaadatar cases 15 din mein clear ho jaate hain RTI ke baad RTI Wiki
