Delhi Ration Card Surrender Form (AAY and Priority Household) - Summary

The Delhi Ration Card Surrender Form is the official application prescribed by the Department of Food, Supplies and Consumer Affairs, Government of NCT of Delhi, for beneficiaries seeking to cancel or surrender their Antyodaya Anna Yojana (AAY) or Priority Household (PR) ration card. Surrendering an active ration card is mandatory when a family migrates permanently out of Delhi or when household income exceeds statutory eligibility limits.

Submitting this form ensures that the citizen receives an official Surrender Certificate / Deletion Certificate, which is legally required to enroll for a fresh ration card in a new state or district. The surrender procedure can be initiated online through the e-District portal or submitted directly at the jurisdictional Circle Office.
