Ration card is not address proof: Delhi HC

Hindustan Times  

The Delhi high court has said that ration cards cannot be considered a reliable source of proof of address, as they exist only to ensure the provision of food grains at a reasonable price to citizens. This policy delineates the eligibility criteria for the allotment of alternative dwelling units to rehabilitate and relocate JJ colony dwellers, and states that a person claiming rehabilitation for the first floor of such a house can be eligible only if they are able to produce a separate ration card as proof that they are a separate family unit. However, the court took note of a March 2015 gazette notification issued by the Union ministry of consumer affairs, which disallowed the use of ration cards as documents of identity or proof of residence, and remarked that the mandatory requirement of separate ration cards was very arbitrary. “The mandatory requirement of a separate ration card is very arbitrary since it cannot be used as an address proof as directed by way of the aforesaid gazette notification.
