Printing the UP 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.

About the UP Ration card
What the UP ration card is
The ration card lets a family buy subsidised grain at its fair price shop under the National Food Security Act. In Uttar Pradesh there are two kinds, Antyodaya (AAY) for the poorest families and Priority Household (पात्र गृहस्थी) for the rest of those eligible.
It shows the ration card number, the head of the family, the members and the fair price shop, and is also used as proof of family and address.
Cropping and printing it
E-Card Cutter finds the card in the PDF and cuts it to 85.6 × 54 mm, ready to print on A4, 4×6 photo paper or a PVC card.
