Link mobile number with ration card online through TNEPDS Official website. Here we cover the complete information how to link mobile number with your smart ration card.
Going with the trend, Mobile Numbers are also linked with the Ration cards, alongside the usual Aadhaar cards.
Aadhaar card linking was most likely done to avail commodities at subsidized prices. Although Aadhaar is not mandatory as per the honourable Supreme Court. However, to avail all the benefits, you need to possess an Aadhaar card.
Thereby, making Aadhaar card almost mandatory otherwise, there is no point of that Ration Card.

Other uses of being a Registered User
A registered mobile user wich was added to your tamil nadu ration card can easily download and install the tnpds/tnepds app on their respective mobile phones through sms.
With the reach of mobile phones and internet access being the highest in our country, it is pretty understandable why it’s a good option.
Registered Mobile users can edit and submit their details online itself. With the newly launched app, albeit being a not so good one, registered members can use their app to good effect.
The app will show people their entitlement on various goods and commodities. The balance that is left for any specific month can be easily calculated accordingly. Also, the app enables you to see two more features:
- The weight of each commodity purchased
- The price spent behind each commodity
It is to note that you will only get know about one particular month’s tally. A year-long tally is not available. You will have to note down your details for each month to get the total figure as per your wish.
There are several other benefits that you can avail in case you have your mobile number registered. These SMS services are:
- PDS <space> 101 – Availability of Commodity at Ration Shop
- PDS <space> 102 – Status of Ration Shop (Open / Close)
- PDS <space> 107 – Complaints about Billing
SMS the necessary query according to your wish to the number 9980904040 from your Registered Mobile Number
Registering your mobile number thus gives you that edge over other users who need to dish out their requests and approach a Taluk Supply Office or Ration Shop to get their things done, instead of going for it on their fingertips itself.
