Mera Ration app

मेरा राशन ऐप क्या है और कहाँ से डाउनलोड करें

Last reviewed: 11 November 2026

Mera Ration is the official NIC app for the ration card and for One Nation One Ration Card. The FAQ PDF on nfsa.gov.in describes it as a way to see card details, the monthly foodgrain entitlement, past transactions, and the nearest fair price shop, and to file a grievance. The same PDF says ONORC uses the existing NFSA card at any fair price shop after authentication on the ePoS.

Download only from these places

Do not install an “APK” of Mera Ration from a website or a message. That file can ask for the same one-time password as the real app and still not be from NIC. Use the Play Store or App Store links above.

What the app is for, and what it is not

Use it to read entitlement, transactions, and a nearby shop, and to start whatever e-KYC or member request the current version actually shows for your state. “Mera ration app se kyc kaise kare” and “new member add kaise kare” are real questions. The buttons, if they exist in your build, are inside the app after you log in with what the app asks. We never see that login.

The app does not replace the state portal for every job. A new household card is still an application to the state. A rejection reason still sits on the state status page. If the app and the shop disagree, keep the shop receipt and check IMPDS for the portability transaction.

The Play Store paragraph that still quotes Rs 3, Rs 2, and Re 1 per kilogram is behind the free-grain decision explained on the quota page.

Frequently asked questions

Mera Ration app kya hai?

It is the National Informatics Centre app for ration-card holders under NFSA and One Nation One Ration Card. The FAQ on nfsa.gov.in says it shows card details, monthly entitlement, transaction history, and a nearby fair price shop, and that a grievance can be filed in the app.

Where should I download it?

From Google Play, the app published by National Informatics Centre (package com.nic.onenationonecard), or from the Apple App Store listing by NIC. You can also open Mera Ration inside UMANG at web.umang.gov.in. Do not install an APK file sent on WhatsApp or downloaded from a blog.

Mera Ration app se kyc kaise kare?

Inside the official app, using the authentication that app starts. This website cannot open the camera or take an OTP. If the app does not offer e-KYC for your state, use the ration shop ePoS.

Mera Ration app se new member add kaise kare?

If the official app shows an add-member path, use that. It still writes to the state system. If it does not, add the member on the state portal. A private app cannot insert a name into NFSA.

Why does the Play Store still mention Rs 3, Rs 2 and Re 1?

That text describes the old central issue prices. The Cabinet decision of 29 November 2023 made the NFSA grain free for five years from 1 January 2024. Trust the shop receipt over the store description.
