Who can use the online feature to add a name?

NFSA households in Rajasthan can request inclusion for newborns, newly married spouses, and dependents who live and eat with the family. The person cannot be listed on any other active ration card. The family should hold a valid Jan Aadhaar and be mapped to a local Fair Price Shop.

What documents are required for adding a family member?

Keep Jan Aadhaar, Aadhaar of the member (if available), birth certificate for infants, marriage certificate or residence proof for spouses, and a recent photo. Upload clear, readable scans. Ensure Jan Aadhaar seeding is complete before filing, or update it at e‑Mitra or the official state portal first.

How long does approval usually take?

Timelines vary by district workload and the completeness of documents. Track your acknowledgment weekly. If the file is sent back for correction, fix issues and resubmit promptly. If it remains pending beyond a reasonable period, raise a grievance ticket on the portal or seek help at e‑Mitra.

When do benefits start, and is eKYC mandatory?

After approval, complete NFSA eKYC through biometric verification to activate benefits, usually from the next allocation cycle. Without eKYC, the system may not issue grain for the new member. The Rajasthan ration card online workflow requires accurate data, valid Aadhaar, and successful biometrics to avoid delays.
