The Central Government has extended the deadline for linking Aadhaar and ration cards until September 30. The original deadline was set to end on June 30, but it has now been extended by another three months. This measure aims to prevent the misuse of ration cards by linking them with Aadhaar to reduce fraud. Linking Aadhaar with ration cards ensures that food grains are provided to eligible beneficiaries and helps eliminate fake ration cards. To complete the linking process, individuals can visit the nearest ration shop or common service centre with their Aadhaar card, ration card, and necessary documents for biometric verification. The linking can also be done through the online portal.
