GN Bureau | October 31, 2012



Ministry of Consumer Affairs has launched a National Transparency Portal for Public Distribution System.

The portal has been developed with the objective of providing all PDS related information through a single platform in the public domain.

The portal contains information relating to Fair Price Shops (FPSs) and ration cards attached to the FPSs. Information on FCI and State storage godowns with capacity utilization and data on Central Pool stocks is also published on the portal. The portal further hosts information like the monthly allocation orders, State-specific commodity sale prices, lifting position, etc. for public view.

All States/UTs have been requested to maintain and update the data on the portal through use of PDS application software for end-to-end computerization of TPDS. The Transparency portal may be accessed at http://pdsportal.nic.in. Citizens may also access the Portals of State/UT Food & Civil Supplies Departments through the links provided.
