Haryana Ration Card Apply Online 2026

The Haryana ration card is issued by the Food, Civil Supplies & Consumer Affairs Department, Government of Haryana. Haryana manages ration cards through the EPDS Haryana system accessible at haryanafood.gov.in. An important feature of Haryana's system: ration card benefits are linked to Parivar Pehchan Patra (PPP) โ€” the state's family identity card. You must have a PPP before applying.

Quick summary: Get Parivar Pehchan Patra first at meraparivar.haryana.gov.in, then apply for ration card at haryanafood.gov.in or Atal Sewa Kendra. BPL/PHH families get 5 kg grain/person/month free under PM GKAY.

AAY (Antyodaya Anna Yojana) Poorest households 35 kg/family/month free

Haryana also distributes sugar and kerosene through PDS to BPL/AAY families in some districts.

  3. Register your family with Aadhaar, income, and asset details
  4. Get your 8-digit PPP Family ID
  5. All family members get individual PPP member IDs

Once PPP is registered and income verified as BPL, the system may automatically generate your ration card without a separate application. Check at haryanafood.gov.in using your PPP ID.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Parivar Pehchan Patra and why is it needed for ration card in Haryana?

PPP is Haryana's family identity document with economic profiling. The government uses PPP data to automatically identify BPL families and generate ration cards. It's mandatory for any government scheme in Haryana, including ration cards.

My PPP shows wrong income. Will it affect my ration card eligibility?

I have PPP but no ration card. What do I do?

First check at haryanafood.gov.in if a ration card has been auto-generated. If not, apply online at haryanafood.gov.in or visit Atal Sewa Kendra for manual application.

Does ONORC work in Haryana?

Yes โ€” Haryana is part of One Nation One Ration Card (ONORC). Migrant workers with ration cards from other states can use Aadhaar biometric authentication at Haryana FPS shops to collect their entitled grain.
