The Government of India provides ration to such people at a very low rate under the National Food Security Act. The government issues ration cards to the people for this. With the help of which people are able to avail the facility of ration at a low price. The Food Department has made changes in the things available on the ration card. So this big change will happen from January 1, 2025.
Now the rules have changed for ration card holders
Under the National Food Security Act, changes have been made in the ration available at a lower price. The quantity of ration that was available earlier has now been changed. Earlier, one unit used to contain 3 kg rice and 2 kg wheat. Now, it has been reduced to 2 kg wheat and 2.5 kg rice, i.e. half a kg of rice has been reduced.
While half a kilo of wheat has been increased, however the unit in which 5 kg ration was available earlier is still 5 kg.
