Abstract: The public distribution system (PDS) evolved as a system of management of scarcity through distribution of food grains at affordable prices. It has a great role in our country for eradicating poverty. It was established by Government of India under Ministry of Consumer's affairs, food and public distribution to distribute food and non-food items to public at subsidized rates. Online Authentication Services provided by UIDAI (fingerprints, iris and photo for face recognition) are used for the sale of PDS commodities to BPL beneficiaries in all Fair Price Shops (FPS). This has improved efficiency and transparency in the system and enabled on time ration delivery to eligible beneficiaries. In order to make the Rationing system high tech the government implemented E-POS machine in Ration Shops in Kerala. With this, the public distribution mechanism in the state will move into the Aadhaar-enabled PDS (AePDS) mode. In this study an attempt is made to examine the impact of Electronic Point of Sale (E-Pos) System among Public Distribution System (PDS) Beneficiaries with special reference to Pavaratty Panchayat, Thrissur district. There is a need for increase in the quantity of food items given through ration shop and also need to ensure the quality of food grains supplied to consumers.
