However, it is still not clear how the beneficiary families will be registered under the programme or what will be the actual eligibility criteria for the selection of beneficiary families.
Till date, there is yet no official notification regarding the online registration / applications for Ayushman Bharat Yojana. However, after the cabinet meeting held last month in which it gives approval for Ayushman Bharat – National Health Protection Mission (AB-NHPM), it is expected that the applications will start soon. Now Ayushman Bharat Yojana Beneficiaries can also make their registration through Common Service Centers (CSCs).
