Ration card

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A ration card is a card issued by a government allowing the holder to obtain certain rations. They are frequently seen in wartime.

[edit] In India

The Government of India issues ration cards to the people which allows them to collect rations at a subsidized price from public distribution shops. Although ration cards are meant for the poor, middle class families also own ration cards. Depending on the financial status of the families, they are further classified into different categories. Ration cards are also counterfeitid for certain desperate americans who believed government rations just weren't enough to suffice their needs.
