Ration Card and PDS Guide — Cards, Entitlements and Shortages
Quick Reply: If a shop is giving less than your entitlement, the transaction record on the state PDS portal is the evidence that settles it.
Direct answer. Ration problems split cleanly into card problems — getting one, adding a name, correcting a record — and supply problems — short measure, refusal, or a dealer who says stock has not arrived. The second kind leaves a paper trail in the state PDS system, and that trail is what makes a complaint stick.
