You can check the status of your Ayushman Card online through the Ayushman Bharat Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (AB-PMJAY) beneficiary portal or the official Ayushman mobile app. This can be done easily and typically needs your registered mobile number, Aadhaar number, Ration card number or PMJAY ID.


Regularly checking the status allows you to understand the approval or verification of your card and what action may be necessary.


Steps to Check Ayushman Card Status Online


This is how you can check the status of your Ayushman Card:



  • Visit the official Ayushman Bharat beneficiary portal.

  • Log in using your registered mobile number.

  • Enter the One-Time Password (OTP) received on your mobile device.

  • Select your state.

  • Choose a search method such as:

  • Aadhaar number

  • PMJAY ID

  • Family ID

  • Ration card number

  • Name and location details

  • Click on the search button.

  • View the current status of your Ayushman Card application.


The portal also enables eligible beneficiaries to generate and download their cards after approval.


What Do the Different Ayushman Card Statuses Mean?


Here are the meanings of the different status messages displayed while checking your application:


Approved


An approved status indicates that your information has been verified successfully and your Ayushman Card has been generated. The card can be downloaded online and used to avail the scheme and access the eligible benefits of the healthcare scheme.


Pending


A pending status means your application is still in progress, either because your documents are being authenticated or because the system is processing your information. Processing times may vary depending on the number of applications and verification criteria.


Rejected


If your application status is rejected, there may be an issue with the information or documents submitted. Common reasons include incorrect personal details, incomplete records, or unsuccessful verification. You might be required to re-enter the information and re-file the request.


e-KYC Required


This status indicates that you are eligible for the scheme, but your electronic Know Your Customer (e-KYC) verification is not completed. The e-KYC process is usually required to be completed before issuing the Ayushman Card.


What Should You Do if Your Ayushman Card Status Is Pending?


In case your application is pending for a long time, take the following measures:



  • Verify that the details submitted are accurate.

  • Make sure that you have uploaded the necessary documents correctly.

  • Complete any pending e-KYC requirements.

  • Check the beneficiary portal for updates periodically.

  • Visit a Common Service Centre (CSC) for assistance if required.


In most cases, the delays are resolved after verification by the relevant authorities.


What Should You Do if Your Ayushman Card Application Is Rejected?


A rejected application does not necessarily mean you are permanently ineligible. You can:



  • Review the reason for rejection.

  • Correct any errors in your personal information.

  • Fill in or correct missing documents.

  • Complete identity verification again if required.

  • Seek assistance from a Common Service Centre or an empanelled hospital help desk.


Early intervention can be used to fast-track the reapplication or verification process.


The Ayushman Card is a valuable document that grants qualified families access to the healthcare benefits of the PM-JAY scheme.


Periodically monitoring the status of your card can also be beneficial in order to make sure that any verification problems are detected and addressed promptly so that you can get healthcare coverage without unnecessary delays.
