  1. I have not received so far any message from you regarding issue of smart card. I was asked by your ration shop staff to be there with a photo and a copy of the ration card. I did accordingly and received a message from you “Received :SIM 1 your smart card change request received and reference id-:1509082762062 Please wait for 48 hrs for confirmation on 27.102017.

  11. 1) I need Smart Ration Card Registered 12 digit number against Smart Ration Card registered as on 30.05.2017 (or) 31.05.2017 against Mobile No. 8754493555 Because I had not noted at that time.

    2) Regarding this subject I will try toll-free number 1967 and 18004255901 last one week, But they are not picking my phone, It was reply only busy mode from morning 8.00 AM to Evening 8.00 PM. Toll free service is very poor responsible to public.
