In West Bengal, an e-Ration Card is a digital PDF document issued by the Food & Supplies Department of the Government of West Bengal to eligible households.

Replacing the traditional paper ration card, the e-Ration Card offers greater convenience and transparency in the distribution of food subsidies through online platforms.
