Getting Ration Card in Bangalore

Hello All,

  I am writing  my experience of getting ration card in Bangalore. 

We require 2 documents
1.   NOC from home town saying "I dont have a ration card @ my home town" or saying "Name has been deleted from the ration card @ home town".
2.  Address Proof of the current residencial address (House Rent Agreement etc.)

With these 2 documents, we need to go to the Food and Civil Supplies Department. As I was staying in Domlur area, I had to go to Food and Civil Supplies Department located @ St. Johns Road.

I filled a form, which was totally in Kannada, and then submitted the document along with the above 2 documents along with Rs. 10/-. It would be more helpful if we take a guy who can read kannada.

Then I was asked to come after 1 month time to collect the ration card.

When I went after 1 month to the Department, I collected my ration card. My photo was taken and my ration card got printed in about 15 mins time. I had to give Rs. 45/- as lamination charges to the guy who printed the ration card and had it laminated.

So, if we have the NOC then getting the ration card is pretty simple.

Over all I would say it was a pleasant experience..even though I had some rough time finding the Department in St.Johns Road.

Hope the above experience would be useful to you all.
