New rules for ration cards are being issued by the Central Government. At present, a lot of preparation has been done by the government. Let us tell you that a new device will be used at the ration card shops, due to which the ration card holders will get a big benefit. Under the new rules issued by the government, electronic point of sale devices have been made necessary at the shops, so that the ration is available in full. Along with this, there should not be any kind of disturbance.

IPOS machine has been made necessary

IPOS machine has been made necessary at the ration center by the government. Please inform that without this the ration will not be distributed. In fact, under the National Food Security Law, the central government has decided to link Electronic Point of Sale (EPOS) devices with electronic scales at ration shops so that beneficiaries can get the full amount of food grains. The law has amended the rules.

What is the rule of rationing?

Let us tell you that the government says that this amendment is an attempt to further the process of improving the weighing of food grains under Section 12 of the Act by improving the transparency of the operation of Target Public Distribution System (TPDS) under NFSA. Under the National Food Security Act (NFSA), the government is giving five kg of wheat and rice per person per month to about 80 crore people of the country at a subsidized rate of Rs 2-3 per kg respectively.

Why has the rules changed?

For the beneficiary of Public Distribution System, online electronic point of sale i.e. POS device has been connected with electronic scales, after which the possibility of disturbances in weighing is eliminated. Apart from online mode, it will also work in offline mode, due to which transparency will increase and the government will be able to stop the weak distribution case.

Let us tell you that free ration will be available in 2023 as well.

It has been announced by the government to give free ration in the year 2023 as well. Crores of people are getting the facility of free ration from the government. At the same time, the government has announced to give free ration to BPL card holders till December 2023.

Under the National Food Security, the ration for the month of August has reached the shops. Which is to be distributed from 6 to 12 October. At some places, ration dealers have also started ration distribution. But from October there has been a big change in the ration scheme.

This time the card holders will have to pay , in fact, the free ration scheme was started from April 2020 amid the Corona epidemic. The government continued this scheme till June 2022. After the assembly elections, there was a delay in the distribution of ration due to derailment of the scheme. Due to this, the ration available under the scheme was distributed till September 2022. In lieu of the ration received under the ‘National Food Security Act’, the card holders will have to pay from this time.

Wheat will be available at the rate of Rs.2/kg and rice at Rs.3/kg from October, as already directed to the officials . Instructions have already been issued in this regard to all the district supply officers of the state. Apart from this, Antyodaya card holders will get 14 kg wheat and 21 kg rice from the Uttar Pradesh government. Other card holders will be given 2 kg wheat and 3 kg rice per unit.

The scheme can last till the Lok Sabha elections, on the other hand, the Modi government has extended the period of ration received by the central government till December 2022 under the Pradhan Mantri Garib Kalyan Anna Yojana (PMGKAY). However, some media reports are claiming that the government can continue this scheme till the Lok Sabha elections to be held in 2024. No official statement has come out on this yet.

The Yogi government had started distribution of free ration to the poor during the Kovid epidemic. Earlier the government had extended it till March 2022. On his return to power in March, the scheme was again extended for three months.
