Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission (ABDM) — ABHA Health ID for every citizen (2026)

• Indian citizen of any age
• Aadhaar OR mobile-based registration
• Voluntary participation
• Consent-based data sharing

Free ABHA ID (14-digit). Digital wallet for medical records (lab reports, prescriptions, hospital discharge summaries). Consent-based access — only providers you authorize see your data. Linked to Ayushman Bharat for cashless beneficiary verification.

1. Visit abha.abdm.gov.in or download ABHA app — Or scan ABDM QR at any health facility.
2. Register with Aadhaar OTP or mobile — Aadhaar route is faster + auto-verified.
3. Receive ABHA ID + wallet — Stored in govt-managed health data wallet (HFR / HPR / HCX).
4. Link health records — Hospitals can push records on your consent.
5. Share with provider — On need-basis, share specific records via OTP-based consent.

• Aadhaar OR mobile number

Same-day issuance.

• Official portal: abha.abdm.gov.in
• Helpline: ABDM: 14477

• Hospitals not yet ABDM-integrated — push for adoption; ABDM is opt-in for facilities.
• Records not appearing in wallet — check that hospital pushed; consent-based pull also possible.
• Multiple ABHA IDs created accidentally — merge via portal.
• Privacy concerns — data is consent-based; you control sharing.

Most “delays” or “rejections” clear within 7-15 days of an RTI being filed. Use this 5-question template:

1. Status of my application no. _____ dated _____ as on date.
2. Name + designation of dealing officer assigned to my file.
3. Reasons for delay beyond the statutory timeline.
4. Copy of any noting / movement of my file in the past 30 days.
5. Likely date of disbursement / decision.
