Ration Card Surrender Form - Summary
If you need to surrender your ration card, you must follow certain steps to obtain a surrender certificate from the DSO in your area. This surrender certificate is very important for applying for a new ration card. After you receive the surrender certificate from the DSO, you will need to submit it to the DSO in your new area when you apply for your new ration card. If you live in a rural area, you can complete this process via the GPO.
If you no longer qualify for a specific ration card category, it is a good idea to cancel or surrender your digital ration card. Also, if a family member has passed away, it is recommended to cancel their digital ration card as well. The state government has made it easier for you to cancel your ration card online through its official website.
