Quick Summary

A property owner is concerned that a friend, whose name was added to their ration card and who has been living on the property and paying rent for two years, might claim ownership. The advice given is that the friend is a tenant and cannot claim ownership. It is strongly recommended to remove the friend's name from the ration card and to issue formal rental receipts to establish a clear landlord-tenant relationship, which will protect the owner's title and rights.

No. He cannot claim your property. But try to remove his name in ration card.

Your friend is residingin in your property and paying rent to you his status is a tenant so can't claim ownership of property.

Although he is a tenant and shall remain the status of tenant yet it is advisable to get his name removed from your ration card, which he can make it in his own name.

The name of a friend, who is not a family member in your family/ration card is illegal, hence first remove his name and then you issue rental receipts every month to him for the rental payments made by him.
This will help you establish the landlord - tenant relationship in case of any future dispute.

He is a tenant. And as the tenant, he cannot deny your title. If so, that itself would be a ground to seek his eviction.
