Mumbai, Mar 21: The Department of Food and Public Distribution has announced that ration card holders across India will receive three months’ worth of food grains in April 2026.
Under this decision, beneficiaries will be given supplies for April, May, and June in a single distribution through fair price shops.
The move is expected to benefit millions of families relying on subsidised food under the Public Distribution System (PDS).
This one-time bulk distribution is part of the central government’s ongoing efforts to improve efficiency in food grain delivery.
Beneficiaries can collect their allocated grains at their convenience within the specified timeframe, reducing the need for monthly visits to ration shops.
