Dear Peter
your question is a dangerous loaded one :-)
* one has to be a resident to obtain a ration card. NRI's are not
entitled to ration cards
* to obtain a ration card - you need to be a resident.

gives more acurate info - though the procedures are a bit simpler
for goa.
kind regards

Hello again,
Thanks Ashley for the change in subject title ......For easy
reference, I have reproduced below, (at the end end of Peter's
mail), the relevant para of my previous mail on this topic.
"regarding the voting card - frequent revisions are being done
often."
You can say/type that again, Ashley! - quite a few "revisions" or
so it seems ... I hurried to get the Adhaar Card processed in
January this year to facilitate my gas cylinders quota, but that
is of no consequence now as I understand. I also understand that
the Adhaar Card might yet be made obsolete in view of some other
ID Card (in the pipeline?) phew! What a waste of time, energy &
money!
"and there are no deletions / revisions that happen unless they
have been told."
Well Ashley, perhaps this is the case now. 30 years ago .........?????
Peter, our grouch seems to be the same. I have not bothered to
check whether my name is still on/in the voting list as I have
voted just once .... on turning 21...huh! Presumably, the Adhaar
Card will get me onto this particular list in the future. & if,
as you say, Ashley, it is that easy to get the ration card
"restored", then I will look into it the next time I am in Goa,
OR on a second thought, perhaps when I settle down for good in Goa
in the near future.... after all, why waste time, energy & money
again???!!!
So virtually I have become a non-Goan good one Peter, I
like!...join the club so to say... and non-Goans are freely
being issued ration cards and their names appear on the voting
list in Goa. Aha!
Have a nice day!......hope all had a good weekend!

But somewhere along the line, we have lost our place in Goa - one
example, my ration card was cancelled because I left Goa to work
abroad years ago, but I have not taken any other Nationality - I
am still Indian, born in Saligao & have my Indian passport & visit
Goa every year since family is based in Saligao. Ration Card is
issued to all who make their "home" in Goa. Stranger still,
till a few years ago, without a ration card I could not do many
things like booking a vehicle etc. Was this fair, that I was left
without my own means of transport during the weeks or months I
spent in Goa? Luckily the PAN Card & Adhaar Card takes care of
this now. Perhaps due to such things, our grouch about Goans &
non-Goans? It is felt that "they" have the better bet!
