Ayushman Card Download

Launched in 2018, the Ayushman Bharat Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (AB PM-JAY) aims to offer free healthcare coverage to around 50 crore people, covering hospital costs at various hospitals. Annually, this program gives families up to ₹5 lakh for health insurance, helping reduce their medical expenses.

In this article, I'll explain in detail how to download your Ayushman card if you've already completed your e-KYC.

Download Ayushman Card Online

To download your Ayushman card, please follow the steps outlined below.

Step 1: Log Into the Beneficiary Portal.

You can start by logging into the Ayushman app or the National Health Authority official website at https://beneficiary.nha.gov.in/.

Step 2: Search Beneficiary.

Use details such as your state, the PMJAY scheme name, ID, Family ID, Location, or most efficiently, your Aadhaar number to search.
- Tip: Opting for your Aadhaar number simplifies the search process.

💡

If your family is eligible but not listed, you can visit the nearest Common Service Centre (CSC) with the necessary documents to get added.

Step 3: Enter Aadhaar Number

Input your Aadhaar number and hit the search button to proceed.

Step 4: View the Ayushman Card List.

Now, a page will open where you can see the status and list of Ayushman cards linked with your Aadhaar number.

If the KYC for a beneficiary is complete or the card is approved, you will see a download option next to their name. Click this button to initiate the download process.

Step 7: Authenticate for Download

You'll need to authenticate yourself to download the PM-JAY Golden Card. Choose Aadhaar as your authentication method and verify using the OTP sent to your registered mobile number.

Step 8: Download the Card
