The Government of India also runs a scheme in which Ayushman cards are made for eligible people. After this, through these cards, the cardholder can get free treatment in the listed hospitals (which hospital is registered in this scheme). The name of this scheme is Ayushman Bharat Yojana. If you are also eligible for this scheme, then you can avail of free treatment by getting an Ayushman card, but if you are not eligible, then do not try to get an Ayushman card made in the wrong way. Otherwise, you may face problems.
This is because the Crime Branch has busted a nationwide racket that used to make Ayushman cards for ineligible people in 5 minutes. So let's know why ineligible people should not get Ayushman cards made in the wrong way. You can learn about this in the next slides...
The Crime Branch has caught such a nationwide racket in Ahmedabad which used to make Ayushman cards for ineligible people. Those who were ineligible were charged Rs 2000 for making the card and after that, the Ayushman card was made and given to them in 5 minutes. In this, a person named Mehul Patel Khyaati used to handle the portal of Ayushman's card in the hospital and used to make the card by taking money from the patient who did not have the card, even if he was ineligible.
Don't make such a mistake.
If you are also thinking of getting your Ayushman card made, then it is most important that you first check your eligibility. If someone tells you that he will make your Ayushman card by taking some money, then do not do this. If you do this, then your card is canceled on investigation, and along with that recovery can also be made from you, due to which you can get into trouble. Therefore, only eligible people should make Ayushman card.
