West Bengal Ration Card Form 6 (Change of Fair Price Shop Form) - Summary

West Bengal Ration Card Form 6 is the designated application form issued by the Department of Food & Supplies, Government of West Bengal, for changing an assigned Fair Price Shop (FPS) or Kerosene Oil (SKO) dealership. When a family relocates to a new neighborhood, village, or municipality, Form 6 enables the smooth transfer of monthly ration quotas to a convenient local ration dealer.

Through the modernized WBFood digital system, beneficiaries no longer face lengthy delays when switching dealerships. Form 6 can be submitted online through the official portal or offline during Duare Sarkar camps, ensuring seamless continuity of food grain distribution under the Khadya Sathi and National Food Security Act programs.

Latest West Bengal Ration Card (Khadya Sathi) Guidelines & Updates

The Department of Food and Supplies, Government of West Bengal, has implemented several citizen-centric reforms to enhance the Public Distribution System (PDS) across rural and urban districts:

Duare Sarkar & BSK Outreach: Citizens can submit all Digital Ration Card forms-including new applications, corrections, member additions, and transfer requests-directly through local Duare Sarkar camps and at any Banglar Sahayata Kendra (BSK) without any service charges.
Mandatory Aadhaar e-KYC (Form 11): In accordance with state directives, all family members must link their Aadhaar and active mobile number with their Digital Ration Card via e-KYC (Form 11) or biometric authentication at local Fair Price Shops (FPS) to ensure uninterrupted food grain quotas.
Instant e-Ration Card (e-RC) Download: Approved beneficiaries can instantly download their password-protected official Digital e-Ration Card in PDF format from the WBFood portal (food.wb.gov.in), which carries the same legal validity as a physical card.
Dedicated WhatsApp Bot (9903055505): Beneficiaries can check their application status, monthly entitlement quota, FPS dealer details, and submit grievance tickets directly through the official Food & Supplies Department WhatsApp chatbot.
Statewide Ration Portability: Beneficiaries under Khadya Sathi, NFSA, and RKSY can collect their subsidized food grains from any Fair Price Shop across West Bengal using biometric e-PoS authentication.
