Problems of functioning of ration shops: 

* Many retail shopkeepers have large number of bogus cards to sell food grains in the open market. 

* Many dealers resort to malpractice since they acquire less salary. 

* Poor supervision 

* Lack of accountability

 * Spurring number of middlemen who consume a good proportion of the stock meant for the poor. 

* No clarity as to which families should be included in the BPL list and which excluded. 

* Many BPL families are not able to acquire ration cards either because they are seasonal migrant workers or because they live in unauthorised colonies.

As vansh5 has already posted 3 points, I'm posting 2 more.

1.The food grains supplied by the ratio shops are not enough to meet the consumtion needs of the poor. As a result, they have to depend on markets instead. 

2. With the introduction of three different ration cards, the price for above poverty line family is almost as high as open market price, so there is little incentive for them.
