The question

Are the goods obtained from bread points for surplus individuals on the ration card considered ill-gotten gains (haram wealth), given that the card was issued by the government entity in this form and that it will take a long time to amend it?

The answer

There is no objection to benefiting from the aforementioned points; as it is not necessary for there to be a correlation between the quantity dispensed as provisions and the quantity dispensed as bread points. This is because the points have been determined by the responsible authority without error, deception, or violation of the eligibility criteria. The basis for this is the general statement of the Prophet (peace be upon him): "Muslims are bound by their conditions."
