The Telangana government has announced the issue of new ration cards and updates to existing ones in celebration of Congress foundation day. Applications will be accepted from December 28. Find out what you need to do to get a new ration card.
Process for New Ration Card in Telangana:
Before requesting a new ration card, make sure your residential address matches that on your Aadhaar card. In case there is any mismatch, update your Aadhaar card first. In addition, for new ration card applications, ensure your name is not listed on any old ration card. If it is, you have to submit request to the name removed from the old card before applying for a new ration card.

- Visit the Telangana Meeseva website to download the New Ration Card application form.
- Once there, click on the form, select ‘Civil Supplies’, and then choose ‘Application for New Food Security Card Application Form’.
