Overview

PM-JAY beneficiary identification depends on the applicable scheme data and current programme rules. A person is not automatically eligible merely because they request a card. The official beneficiary portal supports status lookup and card services for eligible beneficiaries.

Who can apply?

Eligibility is established through the applicable PM-JAY or state scheme criteria and official beneficiary verification. Check the current portal or authorised assistance point.
