Ration card or PDS corruption

Missing ration, cut grains, or bribes for a new or corrected ration card.

Who this is for

Families denied rightful ration or asked for bribes for PDS services.

Real life (simple)

  • Fair price shop says stock is empty, then sells the same rice in the evening.
  • Real-life move: ask for written stock status, note date, complain to the district supply office with card number.

What to do (step by step)

  1. Check your ration entitlement on the state NFSA / PDS portal if available.
  2. Ask the fair price shop for a written reason if stock is cut.
  3. Complain to the district supply officer with card number and dates.
  4. Use the state food / civil supplies grievance number.
  5. Escalate on CPGRAMS if there is silence.
  6. Keep photos of the card and empty transaction months if shown in the app.

Tips

  • Keep written proof.
  • Ask for acknowledgement numbers.
  • Escalate if there is silence.

Warnings

  • Do not use violence.
  • Do not send private files to Trishola. Stay on official portals.
