The Delhi government has officially started accepting fresh applications for ration cards and requests to add family members through the e-District portal. This initiative is designed to streamline the application process and facilitate quicker service delivery under the public distribution system. Many previous applications were left pending due to missing mandatory documents, especially the family income certificate issued by local revenue authorities. To address this, the government is returning old applications to the applicants' e-District accounts, allowing them to resubmit with the required documents. Residents are encouraged to check the 'Pending for Submission' section in their accounts to ensure they meet all document requirements before resubmission. This revised process aims to eliminate the backlog of pending applications while ensuring that eligibility criteria are properly verified. With approximately 15.46 lakh ration card holders in Delhi, Chief Minister Rekha Gupta announced plans to issue two lakh new ration cards this year. For any technical or procedural difficulties, residents can reach out to the Food and Civil Supplies Department helpline at 1967 for support.
