India is moving towards a more digital economy, with most legal and governmental processes also following the digital route. With the government hoping to digitise most processes, there have been many new portals aimed at enhancing citizen experience when applying for documents, following laws (such as filing taxes) and even purchasing certain items. The TNPDS Smart Card is one such initiative that allows the residents of Tamil Nadu to buy rations with the help of their smart cards.
