Ration card mein naam kaise jode

राशन कार्ड में नाम कैसे जोड़ें

Last reviewed: 11 November 2026

Adding a name — “राशन कार्ड में नाम कैसे जोड़ें” — is a change on your existing state card. Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, Delhi, and other states each do it on their own portal. This guide cannot submit the request for you.

Steps that stay the same everywhere

Check the current list so you are adding a person who is actually missing, not a spelling you have not tried.
Open the state’s “add member”, “inclusion”, or modification option. West Bengal uses a different form for a left-out member than for a brand-new family. Odisha explains the same step on the official Odisha One page linked below.
Enter details only on that site. Birth and marriage are the usual reasons. A person who already has an NFSA card in another household has to be removed there first, or the state will reject a duplicate.
Save the acknowledgement and track it with the status steps.
When the name is approved, complete e-KYC for that member if the state requires it before grain is issued.
On a PHH card the per-person quota can rise. On an AAY card the central 35 kg does not. See quota.

Bihar, UP, West Bengal

Bihar. Use rconline.bihar.gov.in, epds.bihar.gov.in, or sfc.bihar.gov.in. epds.biharportal.com is not the department. The Bihar guide has the same links.

Uttar Pradesh. Use fcs.up.gov.in or nfsa.up.gov.in. See the UP guide.

West Bengal. The food department has a form for a family member who is not yet on a digital card. It is separate from the form for a new family. Start at food.wb.gov.in and wbpds.wb.gov.in. See the West Bengal guide.

Delhi, because the query is specific: the NFSA profile’s department site is nfs.delhi.gov.in. Use that row in the directory.

Mera Ration’s own FAQ and store listing talk about family details inside the official app. If the app offers “add member”, it is still the government app, described on the app page. An unofficial APK is not a shortcut.
