Ration card helpline numbers
राशन कार्ड हेल्पलाइन नंबर
Last reviewed: 11 November 2026
There is no single private “customer care” number for every state. The numbers below are the ones published on each state’s page on nfsa.gov.in, reviewed on 11 November 2026. If that official page shows a different number, use the official page. The state directory lists the same helplines next to each portal.

A district site sometimes prints an extra local number. Patna district, for example, has its own ration-card helpline page. If a district number and the state NFSA page disagree, call the number on the state page.
The helpline cannot download a card for you. Status and download stay on the portal. If a caller asks you to install an app that is not Mera Ration from NIC or to share an OTP, hang up.

Frequently asked questions
What is the ration card helpline?
Many NFSA state profiles list 1967. Others print a different 1800 number. Use the number on your state’s NFSA profile. This guide does not operate a call centre.

Is 1967 the number in every state?
No. It appears on a large number of NFSA profiles and not on every one. Bihar’s profile lists 18003456194. Odisha’s lists 155335 and 18003456724. Uttar Pradesh’s profile lists 18001800150 as the department phone.
Can the helpline check my Aadhaar?
Do not read an Aadhaar number or an OTP aloud to a caller you did not dial. Dial the number from the NFSA profile yourself. A missed-call ‘verification’ is not the department.
