PDS: Earlier ration was given only through finger print and then OTP. But many times many ration card holders were deprived of ration due to finger print not being detected in POS machine. After this, the department had found a new way of giving ration by scanning the pupil of the eyes. Which has now been implemented.
Jaipur. Now more new measures are being taken to prevent irregularities in government ration distribution. Now only three people will get ration in a day through OTP. The ration dealer will be able to give ration to only three people in a day. Apart from this, the process of finger print and iris will remain the same as before.
The government had started the OTP scheme to prevent irregularities in the food security scheme. But when irregularities continued in this too, then it was changed again. Now the dealer will be able to give ration to only three beneficiaries in a day. There must be a gap of more than 30 minutes between them i.e. between giving ration.
OTP if finger print is not found
Ration is given to ration card holders on the basis of POS machine. But many times the machine is unable to take the finger print of the beneficiary if the lines on his hand are worn out or there is any skin related problem. In such a situation, ration is given by confirming it by sending OTP to the handprint or registered mobile number of any member of the beneficiary’s family.
Efforts to stop irregularities
The department is constantly receiving complaints that ration dealers are doing irregularities by sending OTP to the phone number linked to Janadhaar or Aadhar card. For those consumers who do not pick up the ration wheat, the dealers are sending OTP to their phone numbers and confirming it, and then the dealers themselves are picking up their share of ration and selling it in the market. To stop this rigging, the department has currently decided to give ration by sending only three OTPs in a day on an experimental basis.
Ration with Iris Scan
Earlier ration was available only through finger print and then through OTP. But many times, due to the finger print not getting into the POS machine, many ration card holders were being deprived of ration. After this, the department had found a new way of giving ration by scanning the iris of the eyes. Which has now been implemented. Now wing machine with iris scanner has also been provided for the beneficiaries. With this, the information can be confirmed by scanning the iris of the beneficiary’s eye.
