Mera Ration App Guide: Locate Nearby Ration Shops

The Promise: Information power in your pocket. No more dealer cheating ("Stock finished"). The Trap: Downloading "Ration Card Update" apps from unknown links that hack your phone.

1. Registration: Mark yourself as a migrant (tell the Govt you moved to a new city).
2. Nearby Ration Shops: Find the closest shop.
3. My Transactions: See last 6 months of ration lifted. (Check if the dealer made fake entries).

2. How to Install Safely

1. Open Google Play Store.
2. Search "Mera Ration".
3. Check Publisher Name: National Informatics Centre (NIC).
4. Install.

Do NOT install apps named "Ration Card List 2026" or "Free Ration Apply" from 3rd party sites.

3. Checking Aadhaar Seeding

This is the most used feature.

1. Open App > Click "Aadhaar Seeding".
2. Enter Ration Card Number (or Aadhaar).
3. It shows a list of all family members.
4. Status: If it says Yes against your name, your connection is active. If No, visit your home state office to link it.
