Now people of Cuddalore can procure ration commodities without using a ration card. This system will be in force from the month of September. Tamil Nadu government has mentioned that the ration cards will be soon replaced with smart cards. Arrangements for this are being made from the year 2015. As a first step, all outlets across Chennai and neighboring districts will have point of sale (POS) machines.
The machines will have ration card details of all consumers along with their Aadhaar numbers. With the POS machine, the consumer who purchases commodities will get an SMS as to how much he or she paid and what commodities he or she got from the shop. Moreover, consumers can now download an App and submit the ration card number upon which it will throw up the stock position of commodities in the shop.
Meanwhile, across Tamil Nadu seeding of Aadhaar numbers with ration cards is expected to be completed soon. Later, the POS machines would be installed.
