Anna Bhagya supplements the central National Food Security Act (NFSA) entitlement in Karnataka: NFSA already provides 5 kg of subsidised rice per person per month, and Anna Bhagya adds a further 5 kg free of cost, bringing the total to 10 kg per person per month for BPL and Antyodaya (AAY) ration card holders — with no separate application needed, as it is linked automatically to the ration card.
