Extension of Aadhaar Linking Deadline for Ration Cards

If you haven’t yet linked your Aadhaar to your ration card or food subsidy account, there’s good news. The government has extended the deadline for this process.

Extended Deadline

The new deadline for verifying or linking Aadhaar is now September 30, instead of the earlier deadline of June 30, 2024. This extension has been granted multiple times by the government.

Linking your ration card with Aadhaar is crucial. The government made it mandatory in February 2017 to link ration cards with Aadhaar for availing benefits under the Public Distribution System (PDS).
