Tips

  • The smart ration card PDF usually opens without a password. If it asks for one, a password box appears here.
  • Use the smart ration card PDF exactly as downloaded. A photo, a screenshot or a PDF saved again from another app may not crop well.
  • 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 Telangana smart ration card

The smart ration card is issued by the Civil Supplies Department, Government of Telangana, in place of the old food security card (FSC).

  1. From EPDS Telangana

    Open EPDS Telangana and choose FSC Search. Enter your ration card number or FSC reference number, or search by district, mandal and village. Your family’s details appear. Press Download FSC or Print FSC and save it as a PDF.

  2. From the T-Ration app

    Install the official T-Ration app from the Google Play Store and log in with your Aadhaar number and the OTP. Open the ration card (FSC) search or the printable member registry, and download the PDF to your phone.

Printing the Telangana Smart 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.
  • If the card has a back, A4 prints the front and back side by side. Cut along the edges, fold, and laminate. On 4×6 the back prints under the front, so cut out both sides and laminate them back to back.

Questions

Is it the same as the food security card (FSC)?

Yes. The smart card carries your food security card number. Only the card is new, the size of an ATM card, in the name of the woman head of the family.

What is the QR code on it for?

The fair price shop scans it to bring up your family’s details. Rations are then given after a fingerprint check of a family member.

Does the smart 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 Telangana Smart 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.

Cropping and printing it
