PMJAY Scheme Highlights 2026

Who is Eligible for Ayushman Bharat Yojana List?

Ayushman Bharat is an eligibility-based scheme, there is no open registration for most people. The government automatically selects beneficiaries based on the Socio-Economic Caste Census (SECC) 2011 data for rural families and occupational categories for urban workers. If your family is already in these databases, your name will appear in the list.

For rural areas, families that fall into any of these categories are covered:

• Deprived rural households - Families living in kutcha houses with one room, families without an adult male member aged 16-59, SC/ST households, and families with a disabled member and no other earning adult.
• Automatic inclusion categories - Homeless people, destitute families, manual scavengers, primitive tribal groups, and legally released bonded laborers are automatically included.
• Landless casual laborers - Rural families depending mainly on casual manual labor with no land of their own.

For urban areas, specific occupational categories are covered. These include rag pickers, domestic workers, street vendors, construction workers, plumbers, masons, security guards, coolies, sweepers, sanitation workers, home-based artisans, tailors, transport workers like rickshaw and cart pullers, electricians, mechanics, and washer men.

Additionally, all Indian citizens aged 70 years and above are eligible for the special Ayushman Vay Vandana benefit with an extra ₹5 lakh top-up coverage, regardless of their income or economic status.

Options to Find Your Name in PMJAY List

After logging into the beneficiary portal at beneficiary.nha.gov.in, you can search for your name using any of these methods depending on what details you have available:

• Search by Aadhaar Number - This is the easiest and most reliable method in 2026. Enter your 12-digit Aadhaar number and your details will show up if you are eligible. Aadhaar is now the main identifier on the portal.
• Search by PMJAY ID or Family ID - If you already have your PMJAY or family ID from any previous interaction with the scheme, you can use that to quickly pull up your record.
• Search by Mobile Number - Enter the mobile number linked to your PMJAY or Aadhaar registration to find your family record.
• Search by Name (SECC) - You can also search by name by entering your name, father's name, district, and village. This works best for rural beneficiaries whose names are in the SECC 2011 database.

What to Do If Your Name is Not in the PMJAY List

If you cannot find your name, contact your nearest Ayushman Mitra at any empanelled government hospital. They can check your eligibility using their system and guide you on the next steps.
