Given below is the eligibility criteria under ‘Ayushman Bharat’
‘Ayushman Bharat’ scheme uses the deprivation conditions in SECC (Socio Economic & Caste Census) as eligibility criteria. In rural areas, households must belong to one of the six listed deprivation criteria. Some categories of households in rural areas are automatically included. In urban areas, the households must belong to one of the eleven (11) listed occupational categories.
Ayushman Bharat covers the entire household without any cap on the family size or age. But all those households who fulfill any of the following 14 exclusion criteria as per SECC are automatically excluded and hence not eligible for Ayushman Bharat.
