I understand your problem. It is the same everywhere in India. We need ration card just to get gas connection; ration card has no other use. Still govt officials refuse to issue ration card; they ask to surrender old ration card. There are many like me who do not possess old ration card, because we never had a ration card. The only ration card we had was in the name of my grandfather who had 8 children, but when these children married and formed 8 separate families, only one of my uncle surrendered my grandfather's card and got his card. Other seven dont have ration card. Just pay some bribe, job will be done.
