customer in the entrybook.People may buy various materials (sugar, rice, oil, kerosene, etc.) by using ration card.Sometimes
card holder doesn’t consume ration items,the stock will remain in the shop.But the person working in the ration
shop,put inventories & this type of malpracticing entry that consumer are bought ration items,dealers diverts food grains
to open market to make profits for their own.There is no monitoring of such unused material. There is another problem
of irregularity in opening shops and false announcement of deficit in food grains.People don’t know materials providing
date and so they will affected by this false announcement. Sometimes this will affect on routine work of consumer. In the
manual distribution system it is difficult to maintain the records. To avoid such a malpractice & regularize public
distribution system to people this proposed system is to be implemented. When the consumer proceeds to flash the card the
database will retrieve the whole details of the consumer. The user can purchase whatever they want by just flashing the
smart card at the shop. The alert message will be given to the consumers when will items available in shop, and
consumer purchase details. The consumer will receive purchase details on authorized Email Id year wise report.
