From this Deepavali onwards, people can apply for ration cards online. The Food and Civil Supplies Department has come up with this move in order to avoid the delay in issuing ration cards. There are four categories of ration cards in Tamilnadu. According to rules, people who apply for ration cards must get the card within 60 days of applying. But this is not what happens most of the time. People wait for several months to get their cards and many don’t have a ration card due to this reason. Therefore, the department has taken this initiative to make the application form available online. There was a trial run for a few days and from this Deepavali it will come into use. An official from the department said that shortage of staff was the main reason for the delay in the issuing of the cards. This problem can be sorted out through the online process. All the details will be provided by the applicant and these details will be stored in the server and the process will take place in the right manner. This system will also help understand where the delay occurs in issuing ration cards.
