At your nearest ration shops you would be able to pay your utility bills. Apart from this, PAN number and passport applications will be allowed from these shops and services related to the Election Commission will also be available.

The foodgrains are supplied to the poor at very low rates by the Central Government under the National Food Security Act. The scheme covers 80 crore families. All of these can take advantage of the new facilities. This will not only serve the people, but also the ration dealers will be able to earn additional income. This facility will enable the consumers to avail these services closer to home.
