\n

On 22-7-2025, the Ministry of Consumer Affairs, Food and Public Distribution notified the Targeted Public Distribution System (\u2018TPDS\u2019) (Control) Amendment Order, 2025<\/span> introducing digital verification reform aimed at enhancing transparency, minimizing misuse, and ensuring that food subsidies are delivered exclusively to genuinely eligible households. This Amendment came into force on 22-7-2025.<\/p>\n

Key Points of TPDS (Control) Amendment Order, 2025:<\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. TPDS Amendment Order updates the Targeted Public Distribution System (Control) Order, 2015<\/a> strengthening the framework for beneficiary verification and ration card issuance for better accountability in India\u2019s food subsidy system.<\/li>\n
  2. Clause 3<\/span> now mandates all eligible households<\/span> for a mandatory e-KYC<\/span> every 5<\/span> years, ensuring that records remain current and accurate.<\/li>\n
  3. Restrictions are imposed on the issuance of separate ration cards to individuals under 18 years of age<\/span> and will require the Aadhaar details<\/span> of children under 5 years of age<\/span>, with full e-KYC to be completed within a year after a child turns five<\/span>.<\/li>\n
  4. State Governments will temporarily disable ration cards that are unused for six months<\/span>, introduced under Clause 4 to address misuse and inefficiency. A field-level verification and e-KYC<\/span> will be conducted within 3 months to determine eligibility.<\/li>\n
  5. Any beneficiary holding duplicate ration cards<\/span>, within or across states, will be given a three-month window to revalidate their status through documentation and e-KYC<\/span>.<\/li>\n
  6. This Order introduces a First-In First-Out (FIFO)<\/span> method for issuing new ration cards and requires states to publish real-time waiting lists on state web-portal.<\/li>\n
  7. \n

    Few exceptions are made available for vulnerable groups with documented justification, aiming to modernize service delivery, eliminate ineligible beneficiaries, and ensure that food subsidies reach only those who truly qualify.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
