New Delhi: Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said that the one nation one ration card will be implemented in the country by March 2021.

Announcing the second tranche of economic stimulus package, she said 8 crore migrant workers who do not have either central or state PDS card, will get 5 kilogram of grains per person and 1 kilogram of ‘chana’ for two months at a cost of Rs 3,500 crore.

Following the portability of ration cards, a person can use his ration card at any PDS shop in the country. The move would benefit 67 crore beneficiaries or 83 per cent of PDS beneficiaries, in 23 states by August.

By March 2021, 100 per cent coverage under ‘One Nation One Ration Card’ will be done, she added.
