BPL card will not cancel now: Karnataka food minister KH Muniyappa

Food and Civil Supplies Minister KH Muniyappa clarified that currently no BPL ration card will be cancelled in the state; there is no need to worry about this. Earlier, there was news that the BPL card of the four-wheeler owners will be cancelled in the state.

For all this, the minister said that there is no such decision at present. Talking to media in Hassan, the minister said that three lakh applications have been received and all of them will be checked and BPL and APL cards will be given to the eligible people in three months.

He also said that there is no permission to start the online portal for applying for the new ration card which has been stopped. The online portal for applying for this new ration card was suspended when the code of conduct was implemented during the assembly elections 2023. Three months have passed since the formation of the current Congress government, but the portal has not yet been launched.

Karnataka Ration Card DBT Status

The Karnataka state government has introduced a scheme called “Anna Bhagya” to provide financial assistance to approximately 1.28 crore ration card holders in Below Poverty Line (BPL) families. Under this scheme, eligible beneficiaries receive Rs.170 per month through the Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) to purchase five kilograms of rice.
