Instructions and Tips

Follow these instructions to make sure the cards are cropped correctly.

  • Use the Himachal ration card PDF exactly as downloaded. A photo, a screenshot or a PDF saved again from another app may not crop well.
  • The Himachal ration card PDF usually opens without a password. If it asks for one, a password box appears here.
  • Printing for several customers at a CSC, e-Mitra or cyber cafe? Press Add to print list after each crop to put up to 5 CR80-size (85.6 × 54 mm) cards on one A4 sheet, with no Photoshop needed.
  • Border not quite right? Press Edit under the result to move it.
  • If a card doesn't crop the way you expect, tell us in our Telegram Group Chat so we can fix it.

Where to get your Himachal ration card

The Himachal Pradesh ration card is issued by the state’s Department of Food, Civil Supplies and Consumer Affairs.

  1. From the HP ePDS website

    Open the print ration card page on the HP ePDS website, search with your ration card number, then pick Save as PDF in the print window.

  2. From your fair price shop or a CSC

    If you can’t download it yourself, a CSC or Lok Mitra Kendra can get the PDF for you with your ration card number.

Printing the Himachal Ration card

  • Print at 100% or Actual size. Fit to page makes the card smaller than 85.6 × 54 mm.
  • Print on A4 or 4×6 paper. Pick the paper from the arrow next to Print.
  • Save gives JPEG A4 or JPEG 4×6 (the sheet as it prints), JPEG Crop (the card alone) or Word. Each prints at the right size from any viewer set to 100%.
  • For a PVC card printer, pick PVC card from the arrow next to Print. Standard (300 dpi) suits most card printers. Choose High (600 dpi) if small text looks soft.
  • On A4, front and back print side by side. Cut along the edges, fold, and laminate. On 4×6, the back prints under the front. Cut out both sides and laminate them back to back.

Questions

Which Himachal ration cards does it crop?

Every category on the same card layout, such as APL, BPL, PHH and AAY. The category is printed on the card and does not change how it crops.

My PDF came from the browser’s print window. Will it work?

Yes. A card saved with Save as PDF from the print window crops the same as a downloaded one.

Does the Himachal ration card PDF have a password?

Usually not. If a PDF does ask for one, E-Card Cutter shows a password box before cropping.

Can I print the Himachal Ration card on a PVC card?

Yes. Pick PVC card from the arrow next to Print. Each side prints on its own at CR80 size (85.6 × 54 mm), for card printers that print one side at a time. If your printer prints from its own software, Save or Copy each side and open it there. Standard (300 dpi) suits most card printers. Choose High (600 dpi) if small text looks soft.

Is my ration card PDF uploaded anywhere?

No. The PDF is opened and cropped in your browser, on your phone or computer. It isn’t sent to any server.
