Any person who is a bonafide citizen of India can apply for the Ration Card. Minors i.e. children below the age of 18 years are included in their parents’ card. However, an individual above 18 years of age can apply for a separate ration card.
It is a voluntary document and not compulsory for every citizen to obtain, but people generally apply for it as it is well-accepted identity proof and helps an individual avail various Government benefits through this scheme.
