What is it?
Ayushman Bharat PM-JAY gives ₹5 lakh per family per year of cashless hospitalization cover. The government identifies eligible families from SECC 2011 data and state lists — you do not 'apply'; you check whether your family is already in the database and then get the card made.
Benefits
If your name is in the list, you get cashless treatment at any empaneled public or private hospital across India — including surgeries, ICU and follow-up care — without paying anything at the hospital.
Eligibility criteria
- ✓Family listed in SECC 2011 deprivation/occupational categories (rural) or occupational categories (urban)
- ✓Families covered under state-expanded schemes (varies by state)
- ✓All senior citizens aged 70+ are covered regardless of income (Ayushman Vay Vandana)
- ✓Name must match Aadhaar for card generation
Documents required
- ✓Aadhaar card of the family member
- ✓Ration card or family ID
- ✓Mobile number for OTP
- ✓SECC/PM-JAY letter if received
How to apply — step by step
- Open bis.pmjay.gov.in and enter your mobile number
- Verify with the OTP received
- Select your state and choose search by Aadhaar number, name, or ration card
- Check the result — 'Approved' names can get cards immediately
- Visit the Ayushman Mitra desk at an empaneled hospital or a CSC with Aadhaar and ration card
- Complete e-KYC (fingerprint/OTP) and collect the printed Ayushman card free
Important dates
There is no application deadline — the scheme is ongoing. Cards should be made before you need hospitalization, since card generation takes only a few minutes at the desk.
Common mistakes to avoid
- ✓Paying anyone for the card — it is always free
- ✓Searching only by name when spelling differs; Aadhaar search is more reliable
- ✓Assuming treatment is cashless at any hospital — only empaneled hospitals accept the card
- ✓Not adding new family members (newborn, spouse) through the family-addition process at the Ayushman Mitra desk
