The Delhi government has cancelled 4.20 lakh ration cards between 2015 and 2025, citing reasons such as ineligibility, death of beneficiaries, and transfers. The move aims to strengthen the Public Distribution System (PDS) by eliminating fake or duplicate cards through Aadhaar-based verification, e-KYC, and field checks, ensuring benefits reach genuine households.
