The government asked the ineligible individuals to surrender their ration cards by May 20 or face disciplinary actions.

Lucknow: The scheme of free ration distribution is believed to have had a tremendous impact on the Bharatiya Janata Party's (BJP) victory in the recently-concluded Uttar Pradesh Assembly polls. Buoyed by its victory, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, in the first decision on the second day of his second consecutive term, declared that his government would continue to give free ration to 1.5 crore eligible poor people across the state for the next three months till June 30.

However, the government issued an order in April asking the ineligible individuals to surrender their ration cards by May 20 or face disciplinary actions like lodging of FIRs against them.

The government order specified that residents are ineligible to hold a ration card if one of the members in their family pays income tax, more than one member holds an arms licence, or if a member has an annual income of more than Rs 3 lakh in urban areas and Rs 2 lakh in rural areas, or owns a house, flat or commercial space. Families who own a four-wheeler/tractor/harvester/an air-conditioner or generator set at home are considered ineligible to hold ration cards.

A senior official said the district administration would send recovery notices to those ineligible people who do not submit their ration cards by May 20 and may even lodge FIRs against them under the Code of Criminal Procedure. He said the recovery would be made as per the guidelines.

Individuals can surrender their ration cards at their block offices or the office of the district supply officer, the official said.

All district magistrates have issued orders accordingly. According to officials, the "recovery process" includes imposing penalties of Rs 24 for a kilogram of wheat and Rs 32 for a kilogram of rice from the time ineligible households started availing ration.
