State portals

Official state and UT food portals

Har state aur UT ka official food portal — yahan sirf link hai, form nahi.

Last reviewed: 11 November 2026

A ration card is issued by your state or Union Territory, not from a single national form. The NFSA “Apply for ration card” page says the same thing and points people to state food portals. The table below links those official sites.

Where a full guide exists, use it for the status, list, apply, download, and e-KYC steps. For every other state, use the official link in the row. Do not type your card number or Aadhaar into a private website that offers to “check all states”.

How to use a row

Find your state or UT.
If the row says “Read the guide”, open that page. It still sends every action to the official site.
Otherwise open the NFSA profile, then the department or ration-card link.
Call the helpline in the row if you need the department. If the row points you to the NFSA page, the number is there.

Fees and extra grain

Any fee, last date, or extra grain is decided by your state. Read it on the portal in your row, not on a private page that claims one national rate.

National portability is a separate topic. Read One Nation One Ration Card and the Mera Ration app guide. To apply, start with how to apply online.

Frequently asked questions

Is there one national website to apply for a ration card?

No. The National Food Security Act portal says identification of households and issue of AAY and PHH cards is done by the state or UT. Use that state’s food department or ration-card site. This page links to those official sites.

What if a portal link does not open?

Open the NFSA profile in the same row. It links the state’s food department. Try the department or ration-card link again later if it does not load the first time.

Can I check my status on this page?

No. This guide has no status form and does not take a ration card number, Aadhaar, mobile number, or OTP. Status is checked on the official state site.

Which state guides are written so far?

Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, and West Bengal have a written guide. Every other row links straight to the official portal. More state guides will be added over time.

Do these links cover One Nation One Ration Card?

Portability uses your existing home-state NFSA card at a fair price shop. It does not replace the home-state portal for a new card, a correction, or e-KYC. The national transaction view is on impds.nic.in.
