Here are the steps to apply for an Ayushman Bharat Yojana (PM-JAY) card, also known as the Swasthya Sathi card, in West Bengal:
Check Eligibility: The Swasthya Sathi scheme is open to families in West Bengal whose annual household income is below Rs. 5 lakh. Certain categories like RSBY beneficiaries, MGNREGA workers, and holders of specific government cards are automatically eligible.
Locate an Enrolment Center: Identify the nearest Swasthya Sathi Kendra (SSK) or Common Service Center (CSC) in your area, which are designated centers for facilitating enrolment.
Gather Documents: Collect the required documents, including proof of identity (Aadhaar card, voter ID, or ration card), proof of residence, and proof of income (if applicable).
Visit the Enrolment Center: Go to the SSK or CSC with the necessary documents and express your interest in enrolling for the Swasthya Sathi scheme.
Fill the Enrolment Form: The operator at the center will assist you in filling out the enrolment form, either manually or through an online portal.
Provide Family Details: Give accurate information about your family members, including their names, ages, and relationship to the head of the household.
Verify Eligibility: If required, the operator may request additional documents or clarifications to verify your eligibility.
Receive Confirmation: Once the enrolment process is complete, you will receive a confirmation slip or acknowledgment.
Card Delivery: The Swasthya Sathi card will be issued and delivered to your registered address within a few weeks.
Remember, the Swasthya Sathi card is issued to the entire family, and each member will have their individual information printed on the card. The card is valid for a specified period, usually one year, and needs to be renewed periodically.
If you face any difficulties or have questions during the application process, you can contact the Swasthya Sathi helpline or visit the official website (https://beneficiary.nha.gov.in/) for more information and assistance.
