Surrendered my Voter ID and Ration Card.

Hello,
I am currently in the process of applying for an OCI. As per the procedure, I need to surrender my voting ID and ration card. I learn that I can surrender my voting card online. But not sure about the ration card.

How can I surrender the ration card?

Can I apply without surrendering the ration card and then surrender it after returning from India?

Thanks much,

No you need to do it before. Your parents or siblings also can do it for you.

As per ECI ( Election Commission of India ), my voter details are not available in their records. If I recall correctly my last voting done in India was during 2016 or 2017. Looks like ECI have not migrated by old records into the current one. Am I good to declare that I have surrendered the voter ID in this scenario? Any one faced similar scenario?

It's different for different state. There is online process too but quickest in Maharashtra fair price ration shop owner will get it done for you for a fee.

I belong to Chennai and the online option to surrender ration card is no longer available. As per the process in TN, the application should be submitted only by the members of the family and as mentioned in the ration card at the respective ration card zonal office. If none of the members are available in India, then the ration card owner / head should provide authorization letter for someone else to present the letter / application. Self attested copies of Canada citizenship certificate , Canada passport, India Aadhar cards should be attached with the letter / application along with the original ration card (smart card in case of TN). The person who submits the letter / application should carry his ID proof (Aadhar card is preferred). The ration card zonal office will provide a reference number (mostly on the same day or 2 days later) and ask for India mobile number . Once the process is completed, any one who can access the ration portal can login with that mobile number, OTP will be sent to the mobile and the ration card surrender certificate can be downloaded online.
