I applied for a new ration card because I married and moved to a new home. I got the deletion certificates both for me and my wife from our previous ration card from the respective authorities. I submitted the originals of the deletion certificate along with the application for the new ration card. This was done nine months back to the Civil Supplies Commissioners office at Poonamalee Road in Chennai. After two months in August 2006, inquiry was conducted for address proof and I was asked to present to the above said office. I duly presented and I was asked a few questions as to whether I have gas connection or not and annual income. I gave the details orally. Then I am waiting till this date for my new ration card. I have not received it. When inquired personally, I was told that "The card has not yet been printed. What shall we do?". Ration card is the most respected identity proof in our country and is a must for the states of Karnataka and Tamil Nadu to apply for LPG Gas connection. Can you expect a person to live without the basic identity proof and a document to get civil supples for 9 months...
I have applied for a new ration card at Tehsidar Office North Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu along with deletion certificate in original obtained from Coonoor, The Nilgiris in the year 2005. Orignal Receipt with seal from the office has been issued to me. More than 20 occasions I approached the office for knowing the latest position on my application. Every time the officials came out with the answer it is not yet ready. Finally in June 2006 I was asked to submit application afresh since the one I submitted earlier has been misplaced. I obliged and submitted new one for which the official have not issued receipt saying that the receipt issued earlier stands good. Till date I am yet to receive neither card nor any communication in this regard. I being an ex-servicemen feel extremely humiliated for not in possession of ration card which is one of the vital document for proving my identity.

I share my experience with Mr. Sekar...
I am settled with my family in Periyar Nagar -North in Virdhachalam for the last 1 year, (prior to which I was residing in Uttar Pradesh for 6 years). Hence, I decided to apply for a RATION CARD.
When I approached the Taluk Supply Officer at Vridhachalam, he advised me to submit the following documents along with the APPLICATION FOR RATION CARD.
1. Cancelled RATION CARD which I was holding in Noida.
2. Affidavit for proof of names and address in the Cancelled Card.
I had submitted the above documents in the month of OCTOBER 2006. The TSO has told me that the application will be processed and my RATION CARD will be ready within 2 Months. He has not even provided a receipt for the application form.
Meanwhile, I had a overseas job opportunity and hence had to leave Vridhachalam. However my wife has been following up with the TSO office.
When ever my wife approached officials in the TSO office , they have been coming out with one or other contradictory reasons such as
1)No G.O. has been issued to TSO office for fresh RATION CARDS .
2)The application will be forwarded after receipt of RATION CARD against the earlier submitted applications.
3)The application will be sent after inquiry.
Meanwhile during my vacation, I met the officials personally on January 3rd 2007. Once again they have come out with the same reasons.
I could understand that as of now no action has been taken for issue of RATION CARD by the TSO office.
I and my family are deeply upset and distressed to face such a tiring hassle created by the officials in TSO office for the past 5 months.
Since all my other activities(incl.obtaining a passport for my wife and daughter) are related to RATION CARD, I am gravely in need of the RATION CARD.
But as of now, I have not got it.
