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.

  1. Go to official site: https://wbpds.wb.gov.in
  2. On homepage, scroll to ‘Special Services’ section and click on ‘Link Aadhaar and Mobile No. with Ration Card’
  3. Select your Ration Card Category (NFSA / State) and enter your Ration Card Number > Click Search
  4. Your card details will appear. Enter your 10 digit valid mobile number
  5. Click Send OTP. A 4-digit OTP will be sent to your new number
  6. 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:

  1. Visit your Fair Price Shop (FPS) dealer or your Block / SDO Food & Supply office
  2. Take with you:
    • Original Ration Card + photocopy
    • Aadhaar Card photocopy
    • Mobile phone with the number you want to link
  3. 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
