3-fold hike in margin money to Delhi's ration dealers

-IANS

NEW DELHI: The Delhi government on Saturday approved a three-fold hike in the margin money from Rs 70 to Rs 200 per quintal to ration dealers in the national capital, said food and civil supplies minister Imran Hussain.

"The ration dealers will now get Rs 2 per kg in place of existing 70 paise per kg," the government said in a statement.

The announcement by the minister came following the cabinet, headed by chief minister Arvind Kejriwal, approved the food and civil supplies department's proposal for trebling the margin money.

The ration dealers will get the benefit of the enhanced margin money from the month of March, the statement said.

It includes rice and wheat distributed by ration dealers under the National Food Security Act, 2013, apart from sugar.

The Delhi Ration Dealers Association had been demanding for a long time that margin money for manual distribution of food grains may be increased in order to enable them run fair price shops (FPSs) in a sustainable and viable manner.
