Hi Mani
ReplyDeleteThanks for writing your query in my blog.
In your in-laws ration card u will find details of your wife name removed documented, and her name shall be printed back of her card still.
You can take the FIR copy to your in-laws ration office and get a certificate from them. Then this will be accepted.
If issue is still not resolved then you may need to carry your ration card and in-laws ration card along with their photo copy and FIR + name removal certificate to Ration head office at Mylapore, Chennai office. This office us located in Radhakrishnan Salai.
