TPN , Telangana : The Revanth Reddy-led government in Telangana is reportedly taking a significant decision regarding the issuance of new ration cards. According to sources, the state government is set to launch a new initiative for issuing ration cards to beneficiaries soon. In a key policy change, officials are likely to propose an increase in the income limit for eligibility compared to the previous guidelines.
Currently, the income limit for eligibility is set at Rs. 1.5 lakh per annum in rural areas and Rs. 2 lakh in urban areas. However, it is expected that the government will raise these limits by an additional Rs. 10,000 to Rs. 20,000, thereby allowing more families to benefit from the public distribution system.
The final decision on the new income limits and ration card issuance will likely be made during the Telangana Cabinet meeting scheduled for December 30. This move is seen as a step towards expanding the reach of government welfare schemes to a larger number of eligible families, aligning with the state government's focus on social welfare and support for low-income groups.
The cabinet's approval could lead to a swift rollout of the new ration cards, benefiting thousands of households across the state.
