Public distribution system i.e rationing distribution is one of the widely controversial issues that involve corruption and illegal smuggling of goods. One reason for this to happen is because every job in the ration shop involves manual work and there is no specific technology involved in automating the job. Involvement of manual work calls a lot of irregularities. Ration card plays a vital role for the household details such as to get the gas connection, family member details, it acts as address proof, etc. In this paper, we have proposed a smart ration card system using Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) Technique and IoT to prevent the malpractices and corruption in the current ration distribution system. In this system, conventional ration card will be replaced by a unique RFID tag. The RFID card has a unique identification number and details of a consumer. The consumer scans the card on RFID reader which is interfaced with microcontroller kept at ration shop. Once a consumer is validated by the mean of Biometric, the system shows customer’sproduct Based on the material chosen by the consumer, the appropriate bill will be generated and the consumer gets the material. The proposed RFID and Biometric based automatic ration shop system would bring transparency and prevent malpractices.
