India’s One Nation One Ration Card system handles about 3.27 crore portability transactions a month, according to a Press Information Bureau update on 12 November. It allows eligible people to collect their foodgrain entitlement at a fair-price shop away from home using their existing ration card.

The government says the system has recorded more than 233 crore transactions since it began in 2019, including transactions within a state and across state boundaries. The figures count transactions, so the same household can appear more than once.

The update also says the digitised ration-card and beneficiary records covered about 78.65 crore people as of October 2026. That is the scope of the database, while the monthly figure measures use of portability.
