How to remove a name from a ration card

राशन कार्ड में नाम कैसे हटाएं

Last reviewed: 11 November 2026

Removing a name is less searched than adding one, and it is easier to get wrong. “नाम कट गया है कैसे चेक करें” is often a person who did not ask for a deletion and found the name gone.

If you want a name removed

1. Confirm the member on the official list.
2. On the state portal, open deletion, removal, or the surrender form for a member. West Bengal’s food department has published a surrender form that covers death and transfer out of the state, separate from a small correction. Other states use one modification screen.
3. Give the reason the form lists. Death, marriage, and a person who has moved onto another card are the usual ones.
4. Save the acknowledgement. Track it the same way as any other application.
5. The shop should stop drawing grain for that person after the state updates the card. Keep the receipt from the next month if you need to show the change.

If a name disappeared and you did not ask

Check, in this order, on the official site:

• Is the household on a different fair price shop after a transfer?
• Did e-KYC for that member fail or expire? That can suspend a person without a deletion order you filed. See e-KYC.
• Did a state cleanup remove duplicates or people who met an exclusion rule? The food office can see the reason. A blog cannot.

Re-adding a wrongly removed person is an add member application, not a button here.

Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, and West Bengal use the same official hosts as the rest of this guide. The three state pages repeat them so you do not have to guess the domain.
