Why is it necessary to link ration card with Aadhaar?
Let us tell you that ever since the government has announced One Nation-One Ration for the ration card, there has been an emphasis on linking it with Aadhaar. The government is insisting on linking the ration card with Aadhaar with the aim of banning the possession of more than one ration card. Actually, the government provides cheap grains and kerosene oil to all BPL families through ration cards. But those who have more than one ration card, take more ration and the needy are not able to get the full benefit of cheap grains.
The date has been extended several times before as well
