In a move to ensure transparency and ease of access, the Bihar government has introduced a fully digital system for eligible residents to apply for new ration cards from the comfort of their homes. The Department of Food and Consumer Protection has issued instructions to all districts to implement the new system effectively.

Eligible individuals without a ration card can now apply online through the official portal rconline.bihar.gov.in. The process begins with registration via the ‘Meri Pehchan’ portal, where users must sign up as a new user. Registration requires filling in basic details and verifying the mobile number through a one-time password (OTP).

-Bank passbook

-Residence certificate
