The central government has also given many more options to get an Ayushman card made. Now you can get your Ayushman Bharat card made even without Aadhaar. In this article, we will know which documents you can use if you do not have an Aadhaar card and what the complete process is. The government’s goal is that you or any member of your family should not be deprived of expensive treatment.
Get an Ayushman card even without an Aadhaar card
Health is a very important aspect of every person’s life. Often, people spend their savings on the treatment of expensive diseases. To avoid this, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has started the Ayushman Bharat Yojana, in which free treatment up to Rs 5 lakh is available. It is necessary to get an Ayushman card to avail the benefits of this scheme.
Which documents can be used
People often feel that an Aadhaar card is the most important to get an Ayushman card, but it is not so. If you do not have an Aadhaar card, you can use the other identity cards given below:
Voter ID card
Ration card
Driving license
Passport
Birth certificate
The government has validated all these documents so that no eligible person is deprived of treatment.
It is necessary to have the name in the beneficiary list
To get an Ayushman card, your name must be included in the beneficiary database, i.e., SECC list (Socio-Economic Caste Census) or the list prepared based on a ration card. If your name is in this list, then you can apply even without an Aadhaar card; you just have to provide the other documents mentioned above for your identity.
What is the process of applying
To get an Ayushman card, you can go to your nearest Public Service Center (CSC) or help desk in hospitals. The officers present there will check your documents and can issue your card after verifying your identity. This process is very simple and straightforward.
The aim of the government is that no eligible family should be deprived of treatment; that is why flexibility has been kept regarding the documents. So even if you do not have an Aadhar card, you can still complete the process with other documents and avail the benefits of this scheme.
