Ayushman Bharat e-KYC Process for “Identified” Beneficiaries | How to Complete the New Verification Process

Ayushman Bharat e-KYC Process:  National Health Authority (NHA) has announced that if your Ayushman Bharat Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (AB PM-JAY) beneficiary status shows “Identified”, you can now complete your e-KYC online through the official beneficiary portal. The process is simple and helps eligible beneficiaries verify their identity to access the scheme’s health insurance benefits.

Here is everything you need to know about the latest e-KYC process.

Ayushman Bharat e-KYC Process: What Does “Identified” Status Mean?

When your beneficiary status appears as Identified, it means your details have been matched in the Ayushman Bharat database, but your identity verification is still pending. Completing e-KYC confirms your identity and helps activate your beneficiary record.

Common Reasons Why e-KYC May Not Work

You may face issues if:

• Your mobile number is not linked with Aadhaar.
• The beneficiary details do not match official records.
• Your status is not yet marked as Identified.
• Temporary server or authentication issues occur.

In such cases, you can try again later or seek assistance from your nearest Common Service Centre (CSC) or the Ayushman Bharat helpdesk.

The new Ayushman Bharat e-KYC process has made beneficiary verification more convenient. If your status is already showing “Identified”, completing the online verification takes only a few minutes and helps ensure uninterrupted access to the health benefits available under the scheme.

Eligible beneficiaries are advised to complete the verification at the earliest to avoid delays when they need medical treatment.
