How to Correct Errors on Your Ayushman Card
Quick answer: If your Ayushman card has a wrong name, photo, date of birth, address, or mobile number, you can fix it using the “Redo e-KYC” option on the beneficiary.nha.gov.in portal or the Ayushman App — log in with your registered mobile number, go through KYC again, and update the incorrect field. For issues the self-service option can’t resolve, a nearby CSC can also help, free of the scheme’s own cost.
Key Takeaways
- Most corrections go through the “Redo e-KYC” feature, not a separate correction form.
- You’ll need to verify your identity again via Aadhaar-linked OTP or biometric authentication before changes are accepted.
- Correcting details is free directly through the portal or app.
- A CSC can help in person if you’re not comfortable doing this yourself online.
Common Errors and How to Fix Them
| Error | Fix |
|---|---|
| Misspelled name | Redo e-KYC and correct the name field, matching your Aadhaar record |
| Wrong or blurry photo | Redo e-KYC to recapture your photo during verification |
| Incorrect date of birth | Redo e-KYC, ensuring it matches your Aadhaar details exactly |
| Outdated address | Update through Redo e-KYC or at a CSC if the portal doesn’t accept the change directly |
| Changed mobile number | Update your registered mobile number through the portal’s account settings before redoing e-KYC |
Step-by-Step: Correcting Details Online
- Go to beneficiary.nha.gov.in and log in with your mobile number and OTP.
- Locate your family member’s record and select the “Redo e-KYC” or equivalent correction option.
- Complete Aadhaar-based verification again — this typically involves an OTP sent to your Aadhaar-linked mobile number.
- Update the specific field that’s incorrect, and submit.
- Re-download your updated Ayushman card once the correction is processed; see our card download guide if you need help with that step.
When to Use a CSC Instead
If your Aadhaar-linked mobile number is no longer active, if biometric verification keeps failing, or if you’re simply more comfortable with in-person help, a CSC can walk you through the same correction process. Bring your Aadhaar card and any supporting document for the detail you’re correcting (for example, a mobile bill for an address update).
Why Accuracy Matters
A mismatched name, photo, or date of birth between your Ayushman card and your Aadhaar can cause delays or rejection at the hospital’s PM-JAY desk during an actual admission — exactly the wrong time to discover an error. It’s worth checking your card’s details against your Aadhaar now, rather than waiting until you need to use it.
