Ayushman Card Registration

Ayushman Bharat Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (PM-JAY), launched in 2018, aims to provide free healthcare coverage to approximately 50 crore people by covering their hospital expenses at a range of hospitals. Each year, the program allocates up to ₹5 lakh per family for health insurance.

In this article, I'll explain in detail how to register or complete KYC for an Ayushman card if your name is in the Ayushman beneficiary list.

Ayushman Bharat Card Online Registration

If you're eligible for the Ayushman Bharat PMJAY scheme and are looking to register for an Ayushman card, follow the steps outlined below:

Step 1: Official Website Visit.

Navigate to https://beneficiary.nha.gov.in/ to access the portal. This is the starting point for applying for an Ayushman Card.

Step 2: Login

Use your mobile number and OTP to log in.

Step 3: Beneficiary Search.

Search using details like state, district, scheme name (PMJAY), PMJAY ID, Family ID, or Aadhaar number.

💡

This step helps you find your record in the system. Selecting the search option will display your record, showing linked Ayushman beneficiaries with your Aadhaar number or Family ID. This also allows you to check your Ayushman Card's status—whether it's ready for download or marked as "Not-Generated."

Step 4: Applying for a Card.

Click the "Action" button to initiate your application.

Step 5: KYC Completion.

Fulfill your KYC requirements using Aadhaar OTP and upload a recent photograph.

Step 6: Additional Details

Input further information like your mobile number, date of birth, PIN code, district, and village.

💡

When you register for an Ayushman card, a match score is calculated using Aadhaar eKYC and source information, which must be greater than 80%. If the eKYC request meets this criterion, it will be automatically approved, and the card can be downloaded after successful submission.

Step 7: Final Submission.

After entering all the details, hit the "submit" button to complete your application. After these steps, your Ayushman Card will be processed and, once approved, you can download it for use.

💡

You can also use the Ayushman mobile app to apply for an Ayushman card, following the same steps.
