If you also want to benefit by joining any government scheme, then you first have to check whether you are eligible for that scheme or not. Every scheme has its eligibility list and if you are eligible then you can take advantage. For example, look at the Ayushman Bharat scheme. Under this scheme of the central government, eligible people are treated free of cost, for which you have to get an Ayushman card. But have you thought that if you forget your Ayushman card at home, can you get free treatment? So let's know whether you will get the benefit of free treatment in such a situation or not. Cardholders can know about this further...

What benefits do you get?
If you have an Ayushman card, then it becomes important for you that the government gives you the benefit of free treatment. Ayushman cardholders can get free treatment up to Rs 5 lakh every year, the entire cost of which is borne by the government. You get this facility in both government and private hospitals.

These people can get Ayushman card:-
If you are a landless person
If you work in the unorganized sector
If your house is in Kutcha
If you are a disabled person or there is someone in such a family
People who live in rural areas etc.

If you have forgotten Ayushman card, then this is the way:-
Step 1

If you are also an Ayushman cardholder and have gone to the hospital for free treatment, but if you have forgotten your Ayushman card at home, then you can still get free treatment.
For this, first of all, you have to go to the Mitra Help Desk in the hospital.

Step 2
After going here, you have to meet the concerned officer
After this, tell them that you have forgotten your Ayushman card at home
In such a situation, you have to tell your mobile number which is linked to the Ayushman card
This will verify your identity and then you can get free treatment.
