QR Code, Smart Ration Card, Short Message Service (SMS), customers.
Abstract
Ration Cards are issued by the Indian Government. Ration Cards enable user to buy fuel, food, etc. at subsidized rates. Ration Cards are an important document which can also be used as an identity proof. These groceries are distributed to the eligible customers at Fair Price Shops (FPS). In existing system is consists of a ration book for three categories. The book is updated manually according to the purchase and has to be renewed every year. This manual process is tedious and fraudulent. The customers buy extra goods on the names of dead or ineligible people. The retailers practice forgery by not selling the required quantity of goods and so customers do not get the deserved quantity of grocery. Many efforts are being taken to improve this system. The main objective of this system, the QR Code contains the URL and an Identification Number of the customer which points to the record in the database. The QR Code can be scanned using a Smart phone. On scanning the QR Code, the user’s personal details like name, phone number, address along with family member details, is displayed on the computer. Further, the desired grocery items are selected and the quantity is mentioned after entering the correct OTP. This quantity, if permissible, is deducted from the total remaining quantity. The bill is displayed and a Short Message Service (SMS) will be sent to the customer. This Smart Ration Card System will ensure transparency in the system and hence prevent the exploitation of masses.
