Title: Government to Impose Penalties on Misuse of Ration Cards
Introduction:
The free ration service initiated by the central and state governments for the poor may soon come to an end. This is because the benefits of this scheme are being availed by individuals belonging to higher-income groups rather than the intended beneficiaries. In order to rectify this issue, the government has introduced new rules, under which only those individuals falling below the poverty line will be eligible for a ration card. Severe actions will be taken against those who misuse their ration cards, including a penalty of INR 27 per kilogram of wheat. Additionally, there have been significant changes made to the rules for obtaining a ration card, even for government employees. Failure to adhere to these rules may result in imprisonment.
