In this system, a thumb and finger tag is used that carries family member details and the customer needs to show this tag at the ration shop. If the user is found authenticate then the quantity of ration to be given to customer according to the total number of family member will be displayed on the personal computer. This ration card is free from theft and forgery as the information about the delivered ration will be send directly to the government and customer through SMS gateway.
