  • The facility will be implemented in all states in the country by June 2020.
  • It is an electronic ration card portability scheme to make a single ration card eligible at any fair price shop also known as rations shops across the country.
  • Currently, ration card holders can avail their entitlement of subsidised food grains in the place of issue of the card.
  • Under the new system, the beneficiaries under the Public Distribution System (PDS) from these states can get their share of rations in any of the 12 states irrespective of where the ration card was originally issued.
  • After the scheme gets implemented at the national level, any PDS recipient can use their ration cards at any PDS shop across the country.
