How can I link Aadhaar with a ration card?

You can link Aadhaar with your ration card through online, offline, or SMS methods. For the online process, visit your state's official Public Distribution System (PDS) portal, select the Aadhaar seeding option, and enter your details followed by OTP verification. To link offline, submit photocopies of your Aadhaar card and ration card at the nearest PDS shop or ration office. Alternatively, you can send an SMS in the format prescribed by your state government to 51969. This linkage ensures transparent distribution of subsidized goods and helps eliminate duplicate cards.
