If you search "fcs up ration card" or "https //fcs.up.gov.in ration card", you are looking for the official department website of the Food and Civil Supplies Department, Uttar Pradesh. It is the main state portal for ration card information: the eligibility list (पात्रता सूची), the application status check, forms and department contacts. Lists of state ration portals compiled by several guides all give fcs.up.gov.in for Uttar Pradesh.
This page is an independent guide. We are not the department and we are not linked to it. We could not open fcs.up.gov.in directly while preparing this page, so the service names below come from third-party guides (ClearTax, The Current India and a Tribune sponsored article). Menu words may differ on the live site.
What you can do on fcs.up.gov.in
| Service (label as reported) | What it does | Our step guide |
|---|---|---|
| Ration Card Eligibility List (राशन कार्ड पात्रता सूची) | Shows cards dealer by dealer; search by card number or other details | UP ration card list |

We looked for an official ePoS distribution report link for UP in our sources and did not find one we could confirm, so we do not list it here. If you need monthly distribution data, look on the portal for a report or ePoS section.
How to use the portal: step by step
- Type fcs.up.gov.in in your browser, or use the official link on this page. Check that the address ends in .up.gov.in.
- On the home page, look for the citizen options. The Current India reports an eligibility list option and a "Download form" button on the home page.
- Pick your task: list, card search, application status or forms.
- Follow the screens: usually district, then town or block, then dealer for the list; or card number, captcha and OTP for card search.
- Use your browser's Print or Save as PDF option to keep a copy of what you see.
- If a menu is missing or renamed, go back to the home page and look for similar words in Hindi or English, such as पात्रता सूची, आवेदन की स्थिति or Forms.
हिंदी में सारांश
fcs.up.gov.in उत्तर प्रदेश खाद्य एवं रसद विभाग की आधिकारिक वेबसाइट है। थर्ड पार्टी गाइड के अनुसार इस पर राशन कार्ड पात्रता सूची, राशन कार्ड संख्या से खोज (OTP के साथ), राशन कार्ड आवेदन की स्थिति और फॉर्म डाउनलोड की सुविधा है। मेनू के नाम बदल सकते हैं, इसलिए मिलते जुलते शब्द देखें। nfsa.up.gov.in भी यूपी सरकार का डोमेन है, पर उसकी सामग्री की हम पुष्टि नहीं कर सके। संपर्क पेज और लखनऊ स्थित आयुक्त कार्यालय का विवरण ऑनलाइन बताया जाता है, पर पहले आधिकारिक पेज पर जाँच लें। 14445 ONORC हेल्पलाइन आधिकारिक दस्तावेज़ में है। राशन न मिलने पर जिला पूर्ति कार्यालय से संपर्क करें। OTP या आधार किसी को न दें। यह साइट सरकारी नहीं है।
fcs.up.gov.in vs nfsa.up.gov.in
Both are UP government domains. fcs.up.gov.in is the department's main website, and it is the site third-party guides describe for list, status and download. nfsa.up.gov.in exists, and a citizen page there is commonly cited online, but we could not confirm what it currently shows. If one is down, try the other. Read our nfsa.up.gov.in guide for more. The national portal, nfsa.gov.in, is run centrally and explains national rules, not UP card lists.
Department contacts (please confirm)
These contact details are cited online but we could not confirm them on a live official page. Check the department's own contact page before relying on them:
- Contact page: fcs.up.gov.in Contact Us (cited by WikiProcedure).
- Contact details PDF: contact_details.pdf on fcs.up.gov.in (same source).
- Commissioner, Food and Logistics Department, Jawahar Bhawan, Lucknow; phone 0522-2286049; email up.fncs@gmail.com. This comes from a third-party listing (indiacustomercare.com), so confirm it first.
- Toll-free 1800-1800-150 and short code 1967 are commonly listed online for UP, but are not confirmed on an official page.
- The ONORC number 14445 is listed in an official PIB document.
For most card problems, your district supply office (जिला पूर्ति कार्यालय) or tehsil supply office is the practical first stop.
Complaints
If a dealer refuses ration, gives less grain or charges money for free NFSA grain, you can complain. UP's public grievance system (IGRS, also called Jansunwai Samadhan) handles department complaints; Drishti IAS reported in May 2025 that the Food and Civil Supplies Department ranked fourth on IGRS complaint disposal in an April report. We could not confirm the exact IGRS web address, so search for it carefully and make sure it ends in .gov.in. Write down the shop name, date and what happened before you complain.
Old addresses and look-alike sites
People still search for older or misspelled addresses. Use the current address fcs.up.gov.in as given in published lists of state ration portals. Watch out for:
- Sites using "fcs up" in a .com or .in name that are not government sites.
- Pages asking you to pay for a ration card list, download or name addition.
- Callers or messages asking for your OTP or Aadhaar to "update" your fcs.up record. Never share them.
- Apps not published by National Informatics Centre that claim to be ration apps.
This guide is not fcs.up.gov.in and never collects your card number, Aadhaar or OTP. For an overview of all topics, see the UP ration card guide.
