Lost security code for ration card

In case you want to apply for a ration card online in Karnataka one can register through the online site. Once it is registered then one will get a security code on the registered mobile in 1-3 months. This security code is needed when you visit the biometric center to take your photograph and fingerprint. So, Once you get it and somehow you lost the security code and one can regenerate it online. The process needed is mentioned below, which i learned after multiple hit and trials:

1. one can "Click here to verify your LPG/Ration Card status (ಎಲ್.ಪಿ.ಜಿ/ರೇಷನ್ ಕಾರ್ಡ್ ಸ್ಥಿತಿ)" use the link in the same site and then click on the last bullet. 
2. Click on this link and you may need multiple clicks before it works as the server is usually very unresponsive.

This option helps you to get security code for the Ration Card application through SMS and also change your mobile no in the application if required. ಇದನ್ನು ಬಳಸಿ ನಿಮ್ಮ ಅರ್ಜಿಗೆ ಸಂಬಂದಿಸಿದ ಸೆಕ್ಯೂರಿಟಿ ಕೋಡ್ ಪಡೆಯಬಹುದು ಮತ್ತು ನಿಮ್ಮ ಮೊಬೈಲ್ ಸಂಖ್ಯೆ ಬದಲಿಸಬಹುದು.

1. Fill the details and don't be alarmed if it raises an error or exception with proper details.Give it multiple tries and if not even wait for sometime before you re-enter it. 
2. Try to regenerate the code with the same mobile as in your application. If it raises exception multiple times change the mobile number to a new one and ask the security code to be regenerated.
3. Please verify if the name in the SMS is same as the registered person you had applied for the ration card else regenerate the pin again. Otherwise like me you would have to go to the biometric center and redo the process again.

It worked for me and hope it will work for you as well.
