- 2. Complete OTP verification
The beneficiary must authenticate the request through OTP-based verification linked to the registered mobile/Aadhaar details.
- 3. Download the health card
After successful authentication, the verified health card can be viewed and downloaded in PDF format. Beneficiaries can save a digital copy on their mobile phone or take a printout for future use.
e-KYC required before downloading card
Beneficiaries should ensure that their photograph-based verification and e-KYC have been completed before downloading the card.The digital process allows them to verify the updated photographs of family members and complete the required authentication before the card is generated. Merely downloading the card does not replace the mandatory beneficiary verification process.MMSY provides eligible families with cashless treatment coverage of up to Rs 10 lakh per family annually. The online card facility is aimed at making access to the scheme easier by reducing paperwork and unnecessary visits for beneficiaries who have already completed the required verification.

Once downloaded, beneficiaries can:

- Take a printed copy for their records
- Share copies with family members when required
