If you want to take advantage of this scheme, then you must have a ration card. If you want to add the name of a new family member to the ration card, you can do so online. To add the name of a new member, the head of the family should have the ration card and a photocopy of the same. Birth certificates of children and the Aadhaar cards of their parents will be required. In the case of a newly married woman, she must have an Aadhaar card, marriage certificate, and parents' ration card.

A ration card is considered one of the main documents required for the verification of an identity card. It is used to get affordable and free ration as well as to take advantage of many other government schemes.

To add a new member online, visit the official website of your state's food supply. For example, if you are a resident of Uttar Pradesh, go to the UP website (https://fcs.up.gov.in/FoodPortal.aspx).
