Sonal recently got married to Raju. She moved into Raju’s house. Raju’s parents have a ration card for their family. Sonal wants to get a ration card made for her family, which now includes Raju. She submitted a filled-in application form along with the required documents. Officials from the food office came to the house for inspection. After inspection, they rejected her application.

Question 1/3

Why do you thinkSonal’s application was rejected?

For a separate ration card, the applicant and their family members should be living and cooking separately. Sonal and Raju were living with Raju’s parents and cooking together as one family. So, Sonal and Raju will not get a separate card.

The officials rejected the application because a ration card can only have the names of members who are related by blood and not through marriage.

Sonal should apply for the card in her parent’s area. Then the officials will approve her application.

You can apply for a ration card only 3 years after getting married. Sonal and Raju weren’t married for three years still.

Question 2/3

What advice would you give Sonal?

Instead of a new ration card, Sonal should apply to get her name included in the ration card of Raju’s family.

The officials are wrong in rejecting her application. She should complain to the officer at the food office.

You cannot include the daughter-in-law’s name in the existing ration card. So, Sonal should not try to get a ration card nor should she include her name in it.

Sonal should continue to go to her parent’s locality ration shop and get her share of the ration from there.

Question 3/3

Why do you think Sonal wants to get changes made to the existing ration card in Raju’s house?

Because it is always good to have up-to-date documents. Sonal and Raju are now married. So, their documents should be changed to reflect this change in their life.

The amount of ration that a family gets depends on the number of members listed on the ration card. So, as the family grows, it is necessary to add the new members’ names in the card to get more ration.

Ration card can be used as identity and address proof. So, Sonal must get the card updated with her name.

All of the above
