@lkatheeq @Devinder_Sharma we will attempt to presribe cieling on retail margins.

[Harsh Gupta @Harshgupta1971]

Criterion for identification of priority familes under PDS hugely simplified. Now only 4 criterion as opposed to 14 earlier.

[Harsh Gupta @Harshgupta1971]

@manjeshhs pl talk to ur Food Inspector

[Harsh Gupta @Harshgupta1971]

Dept would achieve 100% digitisation of ration distribution to card holders during current month...a phenomenal milestone.

[Harsh Gupta @Harshgupta1971]

Coupon compulsory in selected areas of state and optional in other but must for all APL..

[Harsh Gupta @Harshgupta1971]

Coupon can be taken on Biometric authentication at service kiosks or dialing 161 then '4' & then 12 digit UID from Adhaar regd mobile.

[Harsh Gupta @Harshgupta1971]

Coupons show entitlements, provide gaurantee against denial, portability for choosing any shop and flexibiliry to choose any date.

[Harsh Gupta @Harshgupta1971]

After success on kerosene, dept launches Food distribution on coupon in Bengaluru from today.

[Harsh Gupta @Harshgupta1971]

Margin amount for ration shops doubled from next month.

[Harsh Gupta @Harshgupta1971]

90% of kerosene ration cards in bengaluru detected to have LPG

[Harsh Gupta @Harshgupta1971]

50%saving achieved in kerosene ..state is first in the country to claim incentive from Goi through savings in kerosene.

[Harsh Gupta @Harshgupta1971]

Adhaar seeding of 93% ration cards is complete. Already 3 lakh bogus cards cancelled.

[Harsh Gupta @Harshgupta1971]

Dept has been collecting Adhaar at phenomenal pace..Adhar linked Ration cards have jumped to 77% from 47% in last 45 days

[Harsh Gupta @Harshgupta1971]

& providing LPG connections to poor families

[Harsh Gupta @Harshgupta1971]

Department would also make Urban Centers Kerosene free in phased manner....starting with Bengaluru.... by removing bogus and in-eligible

[Harsh Gupta @Harshgupta1971]

The Department is also simplifying issue of ration cards. Initially APL cards can be printed from anywhere provided you have Aadhaar numbers

[Harsh Gupta @Harshgupta1971]

The Department is geared up to launch the food coupon initiative all over state in next 2 to 3 months
