Types of Ration Cards in India and Their Benefits

In India, there are 5 types of ration cards - Priority Household (PHH), Antyodaya (AAY), APL (Above Poverty Line), BPL (Below Poverty Line), and AAY (Antyodaya). Each card serves a specific category of households, providing different amounts of food grain allocation per month. The PHH card is for eligible households, AAY for the poorest of the poor, APL for households above the poverty line, and BPL for those below the poverty line. The AAY card, targeting the poorest households, existed before the National Food Security Act.
