Key Features of the Ayushman App

Step-by-Step: How to Get Your Ayushman Card
- Open the Ayushman App and select your state.
- Choose a verification method — mobile number + OTP, or Aadhaar-based e-KYC.
- Search for your name using your ration card number, mobile number, or family ID.
- If listed as eligible, complete the e-KYC (OTP, fingerprint, or face authentication).
- Upload a passport-size photo if prompted.
- Download the generated Ayushman Card (PDF) or take a screenshot for offline use.
If your name doesn’t appear, you can also check eligibility on the official beneficiary portal at beneficiary.nha.gov.in or visit your nearest CSC/Ayushman Mitra desk at an empanelled hospital.
Who Is Eligible for an Ayushman Card?
Eligibility is primarily based on the Socio-Economic Caste Census (SECC) 2011 data and state-specific criteria, generally covering:
- Rural households meeting deprivation criteria (e.g., landless households dependent on manual labour)
- Urban worker households in specific occupational categories (rag-pickers, street vendors, domestic workers, etc.)
- Beneficiaries of certain existing state health schemes, depending on the state
Since criteria vary by state, the safest way to confirm eligibility is through the app or portal rather than assuming based on income alone.
What to Do If You Face Issues
- Not listed as eligible: Contact your local Ayushman Mitra at an empanelled hospital or your state’s health department helpline.
- OTP not received: Ensure your Aadhaar-linked mobile number is active and correctly updated.
- App crashes or errors: Update to the latest version from the Play Store/App Store, or use the web portal as an alternative.
