Steps to download your Ayushman Card
- 1
Confirm your eligibility and details
Keep your Aadhaar-linked mobile number, Aadhaar number, and state/district ready. You can also use your Family ID or PMJAY ID if you have applied before.
- 2
Open the beneficiary portal or Umang app
Go to beneficiary.nha.gov.in, or open the Umang app and search for "PMJAY". Both are official National Health Authority channels.
- 3
Log in with mobile OTP
Enter your Aadhaar-linked mobile number, fill in the OTP you receive, complete the captcha, and log in.
- 4
Search for your record
Select your state, district, and "PMJAY" under scheme. Search using your Aadhaar number, Family ID, or PMJAY ID to find your name in the list.
- 5
Download the e-card PDF
Click the download icon next to your name, then choose "Download Ayushman Card" to save the PDF to your phone or computer.
- 6
Crop and print it
Open the card crop tool, upload the PDF you just downloaded, drag the crop box over the card, and download a print-ready image sized for a standard card.

If your mobile number isn't linked to Aadhaar
The self-download process relies on an OTP sent to your Aadhaar-linked mobile number. If that doesn't work for you, you have two alternatives:
- Visit a Common Service Centre (CSC): An operator can verify your identity and print or download the card for you, usually for a small service fee.
- Ask at an empanelled hospital: Hospitals registered under PM-JAY can look up and print your card at the help desk when you need treatment.

What if my mobile number isn't linked to my Aadhaar?
