The Parivar Pehchan Patra of Haryana is best described as which of the following?
- A.A ration card for wheat and sugar
- B.An eight digit family identity document used for scheme benefits
- C.A health insurance policy for farmers
- D.A land record certificate issued by the tehsildar
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is B, an eight digit family identity document used for scheme benefits. The Parivar Pehchan Patra gives each family of the state a family identity number with verified details of its members and its income, and pensions, scholarships, ration and scheme benefits are then delivered by reading that record.
Option A, a ration card, is a document the family may hold as well, and the ration itself is now linked to the family identity record, but the Patra is not the ration card. Option C, a health insurance policy for farmers, confuses it with Chirayu Haryana and the Ayushman cover, which are read against the Patra but are separate schemes. Option D, a land record certificate, belongs to the revenue department and is issued as a jamabandi or fard. The point the examination tests is that Haryana built one verified family record first and hung every other benefit on it, which is why the Patra appears in questions about pensions, Chirayu and the Happy Card alike.
