Mobile Number Link With Ration Card
Mobile Number Link With Ration Card
Method 1: Online (West Bengal – recommended for you)
This is under Khadya Sathi scheme run by Food and Supplies Dept, Govt of West Bengal.
- Go to official site: https://wbpds.wb.gov.in
- On homepage, scroll to ‘Special Services’ section and click on ‘Link Aadhaar and Mobile No. with Ration Card’
- Select your Ration Card Category (NFSA / State) and enter your Ration Card Number > Click Search
- Your card details will appear. Enter your 10 digit valid mobile number
- Click Send OTP. A 4-digit OTP will be sent to your new number
- Enter OTP > Click Validate / Verify and Submit. This completes the link
Once done, you will be able to get OTP for e-KYC, download e-ration card, and check status online.
You can also do it from the Khadya Sathi – Amar Ration mobile app > Services > Link Mobile with Ration Card.
Method 2: Offline
If online doesn’t work:
- Visit your Fair Price Shop (FPS) dealer or your Block / SDO Food & Supply office
- Take with you:
- Original Ration Card + photocopy
- Aadhaar Card photocopy
- Mobile phone with the number you want to link
- Ask for Mobile Number updation form, fill and submit. Dealer will update through e-PoS system and you will get an OTP to confirm.
Important points
- One mobile can be linked to one family / one ration card. Use the number linked to your Aadhaar for eKYC – it makes verification easier.
- Linking is mandatory now for eKYC. Without it you can’t do Aadhaar linking online
- No fee is charged by government.
- If your number is already linked but you want to change it, same process – new number will overwrite old number after OTP verification
