Practice questions

Q1Which of the following statements about the implementation of One Nation One Ration Card is incorrect?

A It requires every migrant beneficiary to surrender the home-state ration card before using portability.

B Portability is available both within a state and across states.

C Assam's joining in June 2022 extended the system to all 36 States and Union Territories.

D The system uses digitised ration-card data, Aadhaar seeding and biometric authentication at an ePoS device.

Explanation

Option A is incorrect because portability deliberately avoids the need to surrender the old ration card or obtain a new local card. The same digitised and Aadhaar-linked identity can be authenticated at an enabled shop. The other options correctly state its geographic scope, completion milestone and technology chain.

Q2Match List I with List II and select the correct answer. List I: 1. AAY household 2. PHH beneficiary 3. Mera Ration app 4. Family-split portability List II: a. 5 kg per person per month b. Remaining members may lift their share at home c. 35 kg per family per month d. Shows entitlement and recent transactions

A 1-a, 2-c, 3-d, 4-b

B 1-c, 2-a, 3-b, 4-d

C 1-d, 2-b, 3-c, 4-a

D 1-c, 2-a, 3-d, 4-b

Explanation

The correct matching is 1-c, 2-a, 3-d and 4-b. AAY households receive 35 kg per family per month, while PHH beneficiaries receive 5 kg per person per month. The app displays entitlement and transaction details, and split portability preserves the family's remaining home-location share.

Q3Which beneficiary action is valid for using One Nation One Ration Card portability at an enabled Fair Price Shop?

A Submit a fresh paper application before every portability transaction

B Quote the existing ration-card number or seeded Aadhaar number and complete biometric authentication

C Surrender the original ration card before purchasing foodgrains outside the home district

D Obtain a new local ration card from the destination state

Explanation

At an enabled Fair Price Shop, the beneficiary may provide the existing ration-card number or the Aadhaar number seeded with that card. Biometric authentication at the electronic point-of-sale device verifies the person and records the portable foodgrain transaction.

Q4Consider the following statements about One Nation One Ration Card: 1. Its operational inter-state rollout began with 4 states in August 2019. 2. Rajasthan joined the portability arrangement with Haryana in October 2019. Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

A 1 only

B 2 only

C Both 1 and 2

D Neither 1 nor 2

Explanation

Both statements are correct. Operational inter-state portability began in August 2019 with 4 states arranged in initial clusters. Rajasthan then joined with Haryana in October 2019, making the state an early participant in the national portability rollout.

Q5Which description best captures the nature of the One Nation One Ration Card reform?

A A technology-based portability layer over the Targeted Public Distribution System

B A cash-transfer programme that replaces foodgrain distribution

C A programme that requires migrants to obtain a new ration card at the destination

D A food-subsidy programme available only for inter-state transactions

Explanation

One Nation One Ration Card does not create a new cash benefit or ration entitlement. It adds a technology-enabled portability layer to the existing Targeted Public Distribution System, allowing an eligible member to use the same linked identity at an enabled Fair Price Shop.
